I bought one of these new at a Lincoln gun show a couple of years back in 308. Didn't need it, but thought I needed another 308. Plastic stock, no sights, pencil bbl, and fairly decent trigger. Haven't messed with it much, and probably only put maybe 80 rds or so thru it until yesterday. In the 80 rds with cast, about the best it would do was 3" at 50 yds. The right side of the forearm was touching the bbl, and the left side was free. About 10 min with sandpaper, and a new dollar bill would freely slide all the way down. It was also a bit lite in front, so I dropped in about 4 oz of lead, and it now balances well. Have a 3x12 BSA scope on top. In reality, this rifle is just the old Sav 110, now marked Stevens.
Shot it yesterday with a load that my heavy bbl Sav. likes, and was pleased with the results. 21gr. of 4227 under 311644 put 10 rounds out of a clean bbl, into 2.125 at 50 yds for 10 shots, with 8 going into 1.55. Then I let it cool, and shot a 5 shot group into 1.1". I consider this pretty decent for a rifle, off the rack for $275.00, with no break in, and just 100 rds thru it. Not a fancy rifle, and would prefer a wood stock, but am satisfied at
this point that I got my money's worth. Would make a decent deer rifle for a one gun hunter.
