Is the 7mm-08 a flat shooter?
And is the stocks for the savage 10 like the bell and carlson tactical, would that work for the stevens 200? I have heard that the stevens 200 has the same action and barrel as the savage 10?
i will be using this gun as a build. Stripping the stock, bedding it and everything (forgot to state above) </div></div>
Will the B&C Tactical work with the stevens 200 - Yes see signature below
Is the 7mm-08 a flat shooter - Yes
I got the 308 for two reasons - I can get factory match ammo or handload and I can find either very easily. Also I can get assult rifles in the caliber later (been eyeballing both FALs and G3s)
Also the ballistics are well documented on the 308 and it's much easier to get a ballistics chart together as you will have a pretty good idea of how each shoots.
Here is another beauty of the stevens/savage you can switch calibers anytime you want as long as they are the same action. And the barrel swap can be done in 10-15min. So you can have a 308, 243, 223, ect barrel and swap them depending on what you're hunting that day.
If you know you're going to want to end up going with a custom barrel and the B&C stock let me know and I'll help you get the whole package cheaper. I've got 776 in my total rig at the moment with the stock stevens barrel but if I know what I know now I could have gotten the same rig with a shillen custom barrel for 890.
Good luck and if you want help PM me,
