I bought a Stevens Model 15-A from a friend the other day. He wanted $40 for it. I couldn't get my money out of my pocket fast enough.
Research says this one was made between '48 and '69 as it has a butt plate and 24" barrel.
Without cleaning it, I grabbed a small handfull of CCI golden hollow points, put some pine cones on the 50 yard berm and commenced to check it out. 6 shots down range and 5 pine cones dead.
I got me another 'coon huntin' rifle, fellas!
So Jim .... whatcha clamping to the barrel of this one .... a five hundred thousand candlepower light and a twenty power scope ??

Your confusing me do you mean Remington Golden Hollow Points? Good price on a Single Shot Congrats.
A gun is like a parachute: If you need one and don't have one, you won't be needing one again.
Jim,
Is the rear sight dovetailed or is it held on by one large diameter screw? If it is the screw, I would highly recommend using some locktight on it.
My first rifle was/ is a Savage Model 120-A, which is a later version of the 15-A. It will be 38 years old this Christmas.

It's screwed in, Robert. I had to bump the rear sight to the left just a breath and it's fairly tight, so I don't think it's going to work loose. I'll keep an eye on it though. Thanks for the tip on that.Originally Posted by Mk42gunner
