I started with a Stevens 200.
Added a 26" Shilen 260 barrel from MidwayUSA - http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct...tnumber=482505
Added a B&C Medalist from Shooters Discount.
Added an EGW one-piece base.
Added Burris 30mm Signature Zee rings.
Added a Bushnell Elite 4200 Tactical 6-24x50.
Bought 200 pcs of Remington brass. Tested 140gr AMAXes and 130gr and 140gr Berger VLDs. All loaded to 2.850" overall length.
Settled on the 140gr AMAXes. Using 42.9gr of H4350, I see 2713 fps average and five shots groups will always be under 1" at 200 yards.
I normally bed my stocks but since this gun shoots so well, I have not touched it.
I cleaned it once before shooting, once after 10 rounds, and haven't cleaned it since -- I probably have 150 rounds or so, thus far.
