[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Stevens Model 73

Saw one at the local store for $85. Trigger seemed a little heavy and gritty, had a Weaver 4x15 on it, wasn't in horrible shape but I know nothing about this rifle. But it did fit my son. So I might go back this week and buy it.

Anyone tell me anything about this rifle?

Thanks.

The model 73 is a short, lightweight, and inexpensive rifle designed with the training of young shooters in mind. The single-shot action engages the safety automatically when the bolt is closed.

Google is your friend.

Thanks. I googled it and read a bunch of stuff about it, but I was hoping to get some feedback by folks who have owned or at least shot it.

No such luck here. I was a Crosman .22 air gun kid, myself.
