Why the Stevens-Maynard JR matters for target shooters

The Stevens-Maynard JR is historically notable for its simple falling-block action and proven reliability. For target shooters, that means a rigid lock-up and predictable trigger break — two attributes you want when practicing precision on a budget. The listing explicitly notes the rifle is from the 1903–1912 era, which affects collector value and handling characteristics: expect classic wood stock ergonomics and traditional sighting options.

Caliber and practical applications

The description specifies .22 LONG RIFFLE (commonly understood as .22 Long Rifle or .22 LR), one of the most versatile rimfire cartridges. Benefits include low recoil, inexpensive ammunition for high-volume practice, and excellent consistency at typical target ranges (25–50 yards). For coaches teaching fundamentals, or for shooters honing trigger control, a .22 LR single-shot like this is an efficient training tool.

Condition, price, and buying notes

As a pre-owned item sold without a box, inspect the rifle for bore condition, stock integrity, and action fit before regular use. The $344.99 price point positions it as an attainable vintage option for range-focused shooters rather than a high-end collectible. The product’s Single Shot classification clarifies its intended use and legal category for buyers. For more on the listing and to confirm details, View product details and pricing.

Maintenance is straightforward: clean the bore with rimfire-safe solvents, verify the extractor and firing pin function, and preserve the wood with light oil. Given its vintage origin, factor in a professional gunsmith inspection if you plan frequent shooting.
