Your Stevens is a desireable target rifle. If you do not have a rimfire target rifle and have any interest at all, it would be a good one to keep. It's not a Winchester 52 or Remington 37 or 40X, but all the 416's that I have shot, including the one I own are scary accurate. One of the members at the gun club, of which I am a member is constantly whipping all comers with his!
I saw a rough but servicable example sell for 4 bills in Charlotte at the metrolina gunshow a couple months ago. It wasn't US marked. This would make a difference to a military collector. I talked with the buyer and he was replacing a gun that had been stolen. He wouldn't have anything but the Stevens 416, he reported.
