From the first rifle ever built, Stevens has staked their reputation on building a standard of rifle quality that has never varied to this day. Each rifle in the Stevens line is designed to meet the requirements of hunters and riflemen who are particular about their equipment and insist upon the best value available. Every part is made from select materials and is carefully gauged and inspected during the manufacturing process. Each barrel is button rifled with painstaking precision by highly skilled gun makers trained in the Stevens tradition. Any Stevens rifle you select will be found to possess those qualities of safety, reliability, accuracy and value, which have long been associated with the Stevens name.
The Stevens Model 200 carries the spirit of fine workmanship and honest value. Featuring a dual pillar bedding, gray synthetic stock, with button rifled free-floating barrel, the Model 200 is the best value in a bolt-action rifle.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 300 Winchester Magnum, introduced in 1963, was the last of Winchester's family of (nominally) 30-06-length belted magnums based on the shortened 300 H&H case. It followed the 458, 264, and 338 Winchester Magnums, but has an unusually short neck to maximize powder capacity. Initial reception was mixed; critics faulted the short neck, and it was caught up in Winchester's unpopular post-1964 manufacturing shift. It took time, but the 300 Winchester Magnum has not just survived but prospered. Today it is the world's most popular cartridge that wears a "magnum" suffix. It is manufactured by all ammunition manufacturers, chambered by all riflemakers who have a suitable platform, and often employed by military snipers in the Special Operations community. Though not the fastest "fast 30-caliber" it is fast, accurate, incredibly available, and well-suited to virtually all non-dangerous game hunting throughout the world.
