new stevens 200
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:41:18 PM »
I got a new Stevens 200 in 22-250 put a Pentax Gameseeker 4-12x40 scope on it .When i got it all the shop had was white box Winchester 45gr. hp. and man will she shoot .I wanted different ammo but now i think these will do fine . I sure hope the savage 110 in 30-06 that followed me home also shoots half as good have to buy mounts first to see.     BART

The 30-06 should be just fine. I don't shoot factory ammo and had no problems with hand loads of several types.
