Stevens 200 replacement stock

Jasons_Colon · 12-30-2007, 01:02 AM

I'm looking for a replacement stock for my Stevens 200SA. Every thing I can find from Bell&Carlson, Choate, Brownells, etc will not work with the new style Savage/Stevens receiver. My receiver has the center feed magazine that is not attached to the receiver, and has 4 3/8 inch receiver mounting screw spacing. Any help is greatly apreciated.

call Hogue and see what they offer

Jasons_Colon · 12-30-2007, 10:52 AM

I can't find specific information from hogue, so I sent them an e-mail to see if it will fit. And no to boyds. I'm looking for a synthetic stock. This is a D.I.Y. tactical/varmint project I'm working on. So a tactical stock is top on my list followed by a varmint stock. I'm not made of money, so McMillan is out of the question. Thanks, and keep the suggestions coming.

I just bought my first Stevens 200 with the new stock. I had been planning on replacing the stock with a Duramaxx from Bell and Carlson, but not so with this stock.
Here's what StockysStocks.com (MBI Promotions, Inc.) Home Page had to say about it:
Savage is notorious for design changes that require stock modification(s) so be prepared to do so. This is especially true of screw spacing and Accu-triggers, not to mention the new center-feed magazine that screws into the stock and not into the action like every other rifle in the world. It costs a manufacturer about $100K to set-up for a new inlet so don't expect new versions to pop-up every time Savage decides to change something for a few months. Be sure to remember that when deciding on which gun to buy also!
I would imagine Bell and Carlson and others that spent a fortune tooling up for sales of their stocks are quite peeved.
You might try contacting Stockade Gun Stocks - specializing in custom rifles I heard that they may be willing to accomadate these new center feed magazine stocks.
I hope that helps and let us know how you make out.

Ah the center feed. Choate is supposed to be working on a Varmint/Sniper stock for the new versions. I also want a removable mag stock from them. Any body make a kit for that, Or is some factory parts involved? My Stevens was bought in Aug 07. Looks like the ammo staggers as it feeds in. Which rifle do I have? Just lightened the trigger as much as it could be. I'm waiting for new stuff.

Scoutmaster · 01-05-2008, 05:21 PM

Deersniper,
The way I understand it, if the magazine is attached to the stock rather than the receiver, it's one of the new centerfeed models.

Deersniper · 01-10-2008, 11:46 AM

Yep, it's a center feed intermediate action 110 with the "bolts" measuring 4.4 or 4 1/2 inches. Started doing that in 2006. Bobs's gun shop has one in natural or grey for the action for 135.00 unfinished.1-501-767-1970. I'm looking for a thumb hole and a blind mag hole cut. I'll take it from there. The Choate is real heavy. Not being able to find the right stock really hinders the build. But I can Dremel this plastic stock to the right dimensions first. all I got to do is find a mag well kit that will work.

Is it just me or does the main cost of the gun the stock???

There may be a lot of truth to what you say. Seeing as the receivers on these rifles are the same as the older pre-accutrigger 110s, a lot of people use them to build there own custom rifles. The original Stevens 200 stocks were extremely flimsy and my solution was to use two brass rods, Dremel them in, one down each side from the forward pillar up to the front sling swivel and then bed them in place to firm the stock up. The rifles do come from the factory pillar bedded with the barrel free floated and if too much pressure is put on the forearm, either from a bench rest or handhold, there is a chance it could touch the barrel and negatively affect the accuracy. The newer stocks seem to be a bit more firm, but they are still such an UGLY color gray. The B+C Duramax stocks also come pillar bedded, but with a much stiffer stock material. They are a great deal and often available in black for only $79.99 from Midway when they run sales. Unfortunately they aren't yet made to fit these newer centerfeed rifles.

Oh man. That sux that they haven't fitted the stocks for the 200! I'm looking into getting a new stock. I LOVE my 200, and I don't mind the grey stock, but I do want to get something better, maybe with a thumbhole grip, but either way I don't have much money right now. I'm also looking into getting another gun soon, m44, so that doesn't help. Most of the stocks I've seen so far could pay for it, and then some...

Zen900 · 01-11-2008, 12:26 AM

Thanks for the info on the centerfeed stock. I had not heard of it. I need to find one and look at it. I don't think I would want the new design. That's a major change by Stevens.

Deersniper · 01-11-2008, 11:20 PM

Richards Microfit, www riflestocks .com 1-818-767-6097,[ got a real person on the first call]can make a stock for it and they look great but it is an 18 mo turnaround. They have some really nice woods. I can carve one faster, Savage changes their specs too often.

Just refinished the ugly grey stock that is on the Savage 200, and it turned out great. Krylon has a new paint called camoflag ultra flat paint. Step 1 is to use a vibrator sander with 150 or 200 paper and sand down the entire stock. Get rid of the mold lines and smooth out the sharp edges even the checkering. Step 2, tape off the medalion and recoil pad. Hand sand stubborn spots, making sure your hands are clean and dry. Step 3, Hang the stock by one of the sling studs and wipe down the stock with a clean dry cloth. Shake the paint well and hold the can about 8" from the stock. Dust the stock with a light coat of paint and let dry for about 30 minutes. Step 4, the stock will feel rough, sand the stock down with steel wool and spray with a heavy coat of paint, when dry repeat sanding with steel wool and paint again, repeat for a third time. When your stock is dry is will look great. Make sure all sharp edges are sanded and your stock will look like an expensive reproduction.
