Looking for a .223 bolt action

[U.S. Patriot]

I was at Acme Sports today, and they have a Stevens .223 with BSA 3x9x40 scope for $349. Just a heads up, if anyone is looking.

I just started thinking about getting something like that, but haven't done much research. Anybody have one these? Likes, dislikes, stories? Thanks.

Well there pretty much the same rifle as a Savage. Except the name, and it does not have the accu triger. I personaly love my Savage, and it's my favorite rifle. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

I have a Savage Model 25 in .223 on my wish list. Beautiful laminated stock and a heavy varmint barrel.

the 200 is a great rifle. and it takes the stocks for savage as well. the stock is probably the 1st thing ppl change on a 200.

I've had one for several months now and I love it. The stock is kind of ugly but I didn't but this for a safe queen. That price of $350 with scope pretty good. Without a scope or mounts, it should sell for about $300 or less.
Follow a good break-in procedure and it will probably shoot better than you. I have adjusted the trigger pull a little and I have no other complaints.
Make sure that any accessories you get are for the newer short action center feed. There is a difference.
Have fun.
