I have a couple of Stevens 200s that I got a while back. One is a 7mm-08, and one is a 30-06.
The stocks seem to have a date molded into the front of the stock? would this be correct? My 30-06 stock say 12/04 and the 7mm-08 says 4/05. I assume that this is the date the stock was molded. Am i right?
They are two different stocks, and appear to have slightly different dimensions at the butt. A Limbsaver prefit fits the 4/05 stock just right, but does not fit the other. The rubber buttpad from the 12/04 does not fit the 4/05 rifle. I guess they must have changed stocks, or were the long action stocks always different from the short action stocks?
