I have one in 223. with it's favorite handload, the first three rounds overlap, and the next two walk the group out to about 1/2 inch. That's barrel heat at work and is to be expected for a sporter barrel like that. I changed the barrel to a Midway 250 savage last year, just for grins. It shoots as good as the original 223 did. I should also mention that I dropped a Rifle Basix hunter type trigger into it.
I'm trying to find the right deal on another Stevens 200 so I can make a 308. I haven't had a 308 in my safe for 2 years now and the world hasn't been right since!

I have one in .243. It will stand tow to tow with all the rifles in my safe in accuracy. As for beauty thats anther story. Buy one.

I have one in 308 as my back up rifle for western fly in hunts. Shoots great, loooks tacky, but who cares, certainly not me or the game I hunt.

A friend just purchased one in 30/06 for under $300 bucks. Shoots pretty good with factory ammo, and he kept the brass for some handloading. Not a fancy looking gun, but it will get the job done!

i have one in a 25-06 shoots great at 300 yards no problems looks could be better but for $318. dollars i will never complain i plain to buy another one in a 300 win mag this year

but had to ajust the trigger a bit it is ajustable some what but not much more than 1/2 pound

I keep thinking about a Stevens 200 in .223 rem or .22-250 with a Nikon or Sightron 3-9x to keep out of the safe or in the truck for coyotes and other deserving vermin. My AR is a bit too valuable to leave out and about. I would not feel too bad about leaving a $300 rifle out in the dry shed. Sometimes a target presents itself when you are outside away from the house.

I have a cheap savage without the accutrigger so it probably the same thing as the Stevens 200. My rifle shoots awesome. I can squeeze sub moa out of .270win 150 gr Winchester power-points. Someday I want to get a Stevens in .223 and turn in into a nice long range varmint gun. You can make a really nice custom gun for under $800 if you do a lot of the work yourself.

I have a Steven Model 200 in 243, the accuracy depends on the type of scope and the rifleman's ability, mine shoots very good, but the scope I have on it is not top of the line...with it I have pretty close grouping, depending on my breathing...I would like to get one in .223, I'm just waiting on a sale...
