I bought myself a Stevens .223 as a Christmas Present for myself last December. I wasn't going to spend a lot of money for a rifle to lug around in the snow and dirt varmint hunting. I read the reviews first and there didn't seem to be too many negative comments, so i figured what the heck. It was on sale at Wholesale Sports in Winnipeg for $232.99 so it was easy on the wallet. The first time I took it to the range and got the scope sighted in using factory ammo I was shooting very respectable groups at 100 yds. When I started reloading my own ammo it shot even better, I've been using 36 grain Varmint Grenades with 26.3 grains of Varget and it groups under an inch at 100 yds. A couple of weeks ago I blasted a grapefruit and six eggs at 100 yds, and was seven for seven so for me that is good enough. It may not look like much and maybe I got a good one, but no complaints from this Stevens Customer.
