The ones I've seen are a little rough....  but I think the barrel are good.  Triggers seem to be heavy.............. how does your shoot?

I had one in .222.  Scope mounts are impossible to find.  Shot OK for a light rifle.  Trigger was about 15 pounds.  Traded it off for a Stevens Favorite (original) in rather nice condition.  Think I got the better end of that deal.

Having had mine for about four years now - I love it!  Smallest groups have been under 1/2 inch at 100 yards, using moly-coated 45 grain V-Max loads from a gunshow reloader I deal with.  Factory Winchesters do so-so at about 2 inch groups.
The two main problems are a very stiff and gritty trigger, and a stiff break-open lever (hard on the thumb!).  Scoping it is tricky too, as the rail on top is an odd design.
Overall, a good gun with lots of potential - but it does need some work to smooth it.

Thanks Big Dog.  Have you found a solution for the trigger or opening?

Not yet.  I tried to remove the trigger group, but had no luck - I was worried I'd break something!  I guess I'll just get more ammo and try to shoot it til it smooths out.  Take awhile, being a single-shot!   :lol:

I have one in .222 that I "sporterized" along the lines of a rook rifle. I installed a new forend, globe front sight, Martini Cadet windage adjustable rear sight, adjusted trigger pull, reshaped stock, steel buttplate and gripcap. I think it looks nice. The trigger group is easy to remove- just drive out the two cross pins visible on the receiver. I never figured out how to remove the top lever since I haven't seen a diagram of the rifle.

After trying to tap the pins out (R to L or L to R?), I was starting to peen the ends of the pins.  I was getting worried about really buggering it up.
Still, the stiff trigger really does need some work.

Any  tips on "cleaning up" the trigger pull?

Its been a couple of years since I worked on my rifle, so I don't remember a lot about it. The trigger is better now, but still isn't very good. It has a lot of creep and is fairly heavy. I think it has a hammer and separate firing pin. Generally what I do in that case is to recut the sear notch so that it lies on a line bisecting the pivot hole. That keeps the hammer from being cammed back by the movement of the sear. One can then narrow the sear notch very carefully to reduce the sear engagement. Its probably not a good idea to reduce the mainspring load since the firing pin strike tends to be weak from the get-go.
