Stevens Favorite

Post by H.Plummer »

Is a Stevens Favorite legal for 22BPCR? The way I read the rules it is but I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Yes. It is legal rifle for 22BPCRA as long as it is a good and tight and SAFE condition. Thanks, Joe Scott, VP

Replicas thereof, regardless of origin of manufacture, are permitted. Hammer must be exposed. If replacement barrels, stocks, or other parts are used, they must be as original. No Schuetzen style rifles permitted. One rifle will be used during all phases of the match.
