I was looking on GunBroker for a Stevens Favorite in 22lr. found several that I liked but I did not want a real expensive one. Thought I would buy a older one in good working condition. Some of the really nice ones were 5 to 6 hundred dollars. I bought this one for $300 and the seller said it has very good bright rifling when asked. Also said after another email is that it function perfectly. Talked to them when paying for it and she said that it really is a sound nice rifle. We will see. I am looking foward to cleaning this up getting the rust off of her and making her mine. I am a real 22lr. fanatic. Pictures to come when everything done and settled.
