New old Stevens Favorite 1915

[toby]

First, I apologize for not posting in awhile but my old computer croaked along with my favorite websites. But I'm back now. Anyway I just won this Stevens/Savage marked Favorite off Auction Arms and was tickled. .22lr with a full blue octagonel barrel, excellent rifling, receiver just turning brown. Buttplate is broke, but I knew that and it's a cheap fix.Picked it up from my FFL and spent about 3 hours getting the gunk off and out. Took it to the range and shot about 50 rounds through it and was suprised how good it grouped. At 25 yards I was getting half dollar and smaller 5 shot groups offhand. Not bad for me and my bifoculs. Hammer cocking and trigger pull was very smooth and easy. So I think this is what my grandson will be learning on instead of that Crickett I got him last year.

That sounds like an awful classy way to start your grandson out. What a lucky guy! Very nice grab.

That is a nice one, Toby. I like that full octagonal barrel.

[bdhold]

congratulations.
That is a very nice example.
One of those broke my heart a couple of years ago. S/N dated it to about 1905. It was sold to me as a .22LR, but when I received it, it was .25RF.
I had to send it back.

Nice looking rifle Toby, I'd say it has more class than a Cricket.
