[QUOTE="quackheadkiller, post: 458915, member: 15267"] I bought a stevens. 243 for coyote hunting a couple years ago. I bought it knowing I was going to spray paint it white and grey. I was looking for a cheap rig. I read the same reports about how well they shot. Mine was all over the place. 6-7in groups at 100 yds. I free floated the barrel and the groups shrunk in half. It sounds funny but I didnt want to spend much money on the gun and I read a bedding article on the LRH homepage and I followed the directions and bedded the action. I did use JB weld instead though. My gun shoots about 3/8" at 100yd. all day long now with federal classic 100 gr. Im extremely happy with how the gun shoots. I topped it off with a Barska 6-24x. Whole rig was under 400 bucks. After all that it was a fun project but I doubt I would buy another stevens. [/QUOTE]
