New Stevens in Brown
« on: December 06, 2009, 03:10:46 PM »
Academy had Stevens 200s on sale black friday for $239.00.  Figured I needed to pick a .270 up for the younger son. ;D ;D

To my surprise the stock was a coyote brown.  Much better than the ugly grey on my .308 (which I promptly rattle-can camo'd).

Took it out today to sight it in.  Ran Federal Power Shock 150 through it.  As expected it shot better than I can. ::)

Academy Sports, big box store.  Not sure if they are still running the special or not...probably not.

www.academysports.com

I'll have to work on a picture.  First in line is getting my son married in about 8 days.  Second in figuring out how to import and post a picture.  I'm not sure which is going to be harder. :P

It's just a brown, maybe like the brown stripe in ASAT camo www.asatcamo.com. Just a med. brown, not to dark, not too light.

Hey guys, I just this morning in Joplin, Missouri--Academy Sports has then for $199 and if you fill out a credit application it takes $50 off!  I bought one for out the door $161!!  That is tax included.  A real bargain.

I finally scoped this gun and shot it last weekend.  The gun is really shooter 1/2 to 3/4 right off the bat.  I am gonna work on the trigger a little bite but for the money these are great.
