first big game rifle
One of our grandsons turns 9 this weekend and we bought him a new Stevens Model 200 in 243. I fitted it with an Optronics 3x9 scope. Now I am not a fan of cheap rifles and especially not cheap scopes, but, this thing shoots like crazy.
Best group so far is .790" using Hornady 75 grain hollow points over 41 grains of H-414.
Everything worked perfectly, the trigger is a bit rough, but, completely useable and this kid is gonna go nutz.
He is a wonderful hunter and a very safe gun handler. But at nine he's a little clumsy, so the cheap deal. I'd happily recommend this gun/scope combo to anyone.
