sell33 hope his rifle shoots well if not thier easy and fun to tinker with.
Zen900 was the trigger a SAV-1 or the SAV-2, was looking at the SAV-2 myself just because I could crank it down to 4oz. for target shooting or put her back up to 3lb. for hunting ,I know the SAV-1 just goes from 1lb. to 3lb. adjustment.Id say if your hitting a dime at 100 yards consistantly little over a 1 1/2 lbs. trigger pull is perfect for your shooting style.Hopefully I'll get this rifle to that level of preformance.
gasgas the Savage 110 stocks fits the long action Stevens and the Savage 10 stocks fits the short action Stevens.
felix cortinas make sure the rear tang is free also.And with this rifle I started at 20 inch pound of torque on the action screws and worked up to 28 inch pounds where it preformed the best,the groups halfed in size.Also Ive noticed how rough the barrels are on these Stevens thats why I used the bore paste agressivly to break the barrel in faster.Ive read somewhere that it takes around 100 to 150 rounds down the tube to calm things down,Im to impatient for that to get peak preformance results

Been working alot of hours so I havnt done much with the 223 Steven just slapped on a ACCU-RISER molded cheek pad for instant line of sight with the scope ,and a Remington version of the CLAW sling that I had laying around.May skip the bedding job for now and just try to work up some loads using the Barnes Varmint Grenades and thier Triple-Shock X-Bullets.Need to get in gear for those sod-poodles you know
.
Well have fun with those Stevens!
