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!
