1915 Favorite

The first Stevens Favorite rifle was introduced in 1889. This rifle was an entirely new design, featuring an under lever, falling block action with a 24" barrel. A very popular lightweight rifle, it was marketed to ladies and small boys. It was also considered a fine "bicycle gun" due to its portability and ease of takedown. The Stevens 1915 Favorite is an updated, slightly heavier version of the original Stevens Favorite. It was manufactured from 1915 to 1935.

NOTE: This stock is machined to fit only early-manufacture Stevens 1915 Favorite rifles. Later Savage/Stevens “Favorites”, made from 1971 to 1989, were stamped with a model number of 71, 72 or 74, depending on the barrel. These rifles are  “look alike” only; early stocks will not fit these later model rifles.
