To find the serial number on a Stevens Visible Loading Repeater, you typically need to look on the underside of the receiver or the barrel. The serial number is often stamped into the metal and may be located near the trigger guard or on the side of the receiver. If the firearm has a wooden stock, you might need to remove it to access the serial number on the receiver. Always ensure the firearm is unloaded before inspecting it.
The Stevens model number 70 Visible repeater was made from 1912-1931.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading .22, adn the serial number is on the underside of the rifle, on the extended metal that goes from the trigger guard into the stock. It's quite visible. Ed

I'm not sure the actual value of one, but I purchased one last weekend for $215. The seller wanted $250 for it, but we finally agreed to $215. I think this one is a 1907.
The Stevens Visible Loader, sometimes called the "Miserable Loader" because of its tendency to malfunction, was made from 1907 well into the 1930s. They are fairly common guns on on-line auction sites and at gunshows. Value depends on condition and exact model. Most were the Model 70 and today bring $100 to $400. Models with fancy sites, pistol-grip stock and other embellishments can carry price tags of up to $600 if in great condition, but they are slow to sell at that price. An "average" price" is $250 to $325.
Neither. Stevens manufactured what they called "The Visible Repeater", and it is vaguely similar to the Winchester Models 1890 and 1906.
The stevens model 70 Visible loading slide action rifle was made from 1912-1931.
A few different models of the Visible Loader were offered between 1907 and 1932. Mainly differing only in the sights. Truly excellent condition rifles can reach $350-$400. sales@countrygunsmith.net
