I don't think you can go wrong
with the Savage, uh I mean Stevens. The stevens is the bare bones Savage without the Accu-trigger. If it has the old style savage trigger on it, and I believe it does, it is still adjustable to about 3 lbs. If you felt it neccesary to replace the trigger later, and I see no reason to myself, you can get an after market for about $70. I have 6 Savage rifles and they are all great shooters, 4 of them have the old style triggers. If you don't mind a blued gun with a plastic stock, you should be very happy with the Stevens.
