Low Budget build (pics included)

Started with a Stevens 200 xp in 308. Even in stock for it shot 1 MOA at 100 with cheap Am Eagle Ammo. Now that the new stock and scope is installed I'm going to be moving to match grade ammo. I will keep you informed of how it shoots with the new stock.

Before pics (Krylon paint, home made cheek pad, cheap ammo sleeve, Stock Bushnell 3-9x40):

I couldn't be happier so far and I can't wait to get it out with match grade and hand load ammo and see what she can do.

I have a Stevens too, great economical shooter. I'm gonna rebarrel mine in .260 and put it in one of those new Choate A5 clones.

Shot 3/4MOA yesterday. Ordered a 16x SS yesterday as well. I love the vortex I just want a fixed power scope. Once I finalize my hand load work up I'll post pics.

Thanks,
Merritt
