I hear that oneoldsap, but I got the stevens 200 so I can build it up and turn it into something awesome. I kinda knew that it was cheap and wanted to get a 700 SPS, but since I'm gonna rebuild most of the rifle I'm not too worried. Gonna replace the stock, barrel, recoil lug, bolt handle, maybe the trigger but I got the pull down to about 2 1/2 lbs and am rather comfortable with it. I stripped the bolt down last night, and threw it back together, and I guess I fixed something in the process because it works now. The thought of taking apart the bolt scared me, but it was rather simple really. After all the responses and advice/tips I figured it had to be the bolt.
