Hi
I have just bought a new Savage Stevens 200 rifle in 7.08 .
In the near future, I want to upgrade everything but the action.
I want it to be a 500 - 800 meter range rifle with that awsum sniper look. Please can you advise me what triggers and adjustable stocks are compatible ? Can I change the internal centerfeed mag to a detachable mag ? and what scope would be good for these ranges without spending over 2000 dollars ?
If anyone has this rifle already built up, please post some pics.
Thanks

Re: Savage Stevens 200 / 7.08 / Build

that is the factory stock after some sanding and filing. it shot well enough that i put the $ that would have gone into another stock into some other toys.

it now has a cheekpiece on it, same as this one on my .22 mag

Captain obvious's rifle should end up looking almost identical to mine in the sig below. I have plenty of write ups on here just search my name and you should find my build specs.

Good luck,
Merritt

Re: Savage Stevens 200 / 7.08 / Build

Thank you I like my build to date espectially since my total is only 776 so far. I'm eyeballing a barrel but I have to wait for my VA disability to hit before I have the coin for it.

Good luck,
