Re: Stevens 200
the steven 200 is a savage, just without the accutrigger or bottom metal and stock options, a rifle basix trigger will go right on, so will any savage stocks, or any savage bottom metal... there are better options than factory savage bottom metal... look at CDI precision

Re: Stevens 200
Well I wouldn't say any, because you have to know your spacing on your action screws. If its a long action then your fairly set, but I'd make sure that your parts match your screw spacing to save headaches later. Just measure center to center on your action screws and you have the info. You will also want to know whether you have a center or stagger feed mag system. Again just FYI to help save you tome, money, and grief. Goodluck

Re: Stevens 200
I will be putting a SSS trigger on my savage here shortly and will have the accutrigger left over if you want it for cheap.

Re: Stevens 200
the sharp shooter supply bolt knob is also a deal for around $40.00, goes on in like 10 minutes.
BEST $300 BUCKS I EVER SPENT, 1ST ROUNDS THROUGH IT THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT....STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!
the factory trigger is adjustable down to about 3lbs, but the rifle basix is worth the money, mine is at .75 lb. no slam fires, saftey works, even dropping the rifle 24 inches on the butt.
trigger adjustments (IF YOU DARE):

i didn't have to hone mine (when it was the factory trigger), just messing with the screws were enough.
my 200 is a 4.411 mounting bolt spacing, short action .308 or a "quasi" savage model 10.

Re: Stevens 200
The trigger seems simple enough. Is there a reason why it so hard to find parts for a savage 110. I went to Savasge arms website and ask for a serial number. Is it a legal reason?
I tried looking around on other sites and searching google but haven't found an answer on making it a detachable magazine.
If it helps my 200 is a 223 center feed top loader.

Re: Stevens 200
Savage is kinda wierd about releasing some parts... you keep saying 110... 110s are long actions, your 223 M200 is a short action, so you need parts from a model 10, 12, etc... but it's WAY easier to just add a cdi DBM than to go factory, then add a rifle basix trigger, and a good stock, your action should have the 4.40 screw spacing, you'll need to know that for stocks and DBM

sloppy how?

Re: Stevens 200
hmmm, never had that problem, have you had it out of the stock, if so does you mag stay in the stock or is it attached to the action?

Re: Stevens 200
I just rolled my new Mcgowen barrel on my stevens. My build specs are as follows.
Stevens 200
Mcgowen 7mm-08 26" bull barrel with a 1 in 8 twist
SSS bolt handle
RB Sav-1 trigger
EGW 20moa base
TPS low rings
16x SS
B&C Medalist
Bolt lift kit
I'll let ya know how it shoots once I get a load developed for it.
PM me if you have any questions.
Good luck,
Merritt

Re: Stevens 200
you know the factory DBM uses the same mag, just with it mounted on a floorplate.... order a cdi precision that uses AICS mags

same here, you just have to get used to pushing down. it's a pain when you forget, but that's the way it is.
i think the answer to your serial number question is that they change the mounting bolt spacing every few years, maybe the serial number thing is to help identify the spacing.
the model 112 i used to have was a long action, but chambered in .223, maybe the serial numbers are to help identify the long action / short cartridge thing.
