Bought a used factory Steven bolt action .223 (with a very rare factory Varmint contour 24” barrel in 1:9 twist). Read more about it here: http://www.savageshooters.com/showthread.php?28893-Stevens-200-with-Heavy-Varmint-barrel-(in-223-Rem)

Shoots 69gr SMKs real nice out of Lake City '11 brass with CCI SR #400 primers using 24.1gr of Varget powder...

(BTW.. if you can't read it, that's 3 shots at 100 yds with ctrs at 0.17" for an MOA of 0.16"!)
here is the skinny on it….
> new Duracoat paint
> Kevin Rayhill stock
> Rifle Basix trigger set to 14oz
> Bolt handle swap (from model 12)
> Bolt lift kit
> Burris Signature 1” rings (with 10 MOA inserts)
> Burris Tru-mount bases
> Pentax 8.5-32x 44mm 1/8 MOA adjustments
All in, I have less than $700 wrapped up into it (scored the scope as a freebie) including shipping, FFL, etc.
Not too shabby!
