What is the recommended scope and ammo type for a Stevens model 200 7mm?

Answer 1

The type of ammunition and scope is depedant upon the intended use of the rifle. If it is for hunting you should consider the Leupold Rifleman 3-9 x 40. The price new from Walmart is 200 dollars. This is an excellent scope for the money. As for ammunition, you have to find out what your rifle likes to shoot best. The only way to do that is to try various brands and makes and see which groups the best through your rifle. You could have two Stevens Rifles and one might shoot a particular brand in tiny little groups while the other might not shoot that brand well at all. For hunting you need a hunting bullet. There are many now so you have a wide wide choice. All of the premium hunting bullets are good but different ones are better for different game so if you are going after deer make sure the bullets you test are suitied for deer. After you have identified a few brands you want to try, take your rifle to the range and test shoot them. When you determine which brand and make your rifle shoots best go back to the store and get a few boxes of that stuff and hold on to it. You want to make sure its the same lot number as the one that tested well through your Stevens. Oh yeah, the ammo can vari from lot to lot. Good luck.
