Stevens Mod 15B

Sweet Rifle!
I have a Stevens 120 that I got from Santa when I was 13. It still wears the Weaver D4 that i got then too. It's still a pretty good shooter with standard velocity ammo. Looks almost identical to yours.
I also have a Glenfield Model 10, with the ring cocking piece instead of the knob. Got that from a P.A.L. shooting team that was getting rid of older stuff they never used. That rifle shoots almost as well as some much higher dollar target rifles I have.
I love the single shot .22 rifles.

I got to the range to sight in. Wind was 20 -30 mph with 20 something temps. It quickly became obvious why there wasn't an elevation ladder in the rear sight. Even in the lowest notch the POI was 2" high at 25 yards so I removed it. Windage was next and I used a Wyoming inertia sight drifter and found center. It was hitting the 3" 50 yard .22 swingers consistently with CCI standard velocity but the plan is to use this for varmints around the homestead without getting the housing developement west of my property stirred up. The two shots in the center are CB shorts and the other 3 are CCI Quiet .22 long rifles. The rifle will group better with the LR but I was half frozen at that point.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how well the old gal shoots. Especially with the CB caps.

Bottom line is that starlings, chipmunks and red squirrels best be careful.
