The J. Stevens Model 416-2 represents one of America's finest pre-war .22 target rifles, built during the golden age of precision rimfire competition. Produced between 1937 and 1941, these rifles were designed for serious marksmanship training and formal target competition, combining exceptional workmanship with a heavy target barrel and precision aperture sights. Original examples accompanied by their factory boxes are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the heavy 26-inch barrel provides outstanding balance while minimizing barrel vibration for excellent accuracy. The receiver-mounted match aperture rear sight and globe front sight offer the precise sight picture demanded by competitive shooters. The smooth bolt action and crisp trigger make the 416-2 capable of outstanding performance on paper targets or small game when paired with quality match ammunition.

The walnut target stock offers excellent ergonomics from the bench or in traditional prone shooting positions. Its substantial barrel profile and robust construction provide a stable shooting platform while maintaining the classic appearance expected of premium American target rifles from the era. The included original sling, hand stop, and accessories further enhance its desirability as a complete period outfit.

The .22 Long Rifle cartridge remains one of the most practical and economical precision cartridges ever developed. With virtually no recoil and outstanding inherent accuracy, it continues to dominate rimfire competition while serving equally well for training, recreational target shooting, and small-game hunting. The Stevens 416-2 showcases the cartridge's full precision potential in a classic American platform.

Collectors recognize the Stevens 416 series as one of the premier American target rifles of the pre-World War II era. This example stands apart with its original factory box, period accessories, original sights, and attractive overall condition. Whether displayed in a collection or enjoyed on the firing line, this rifle represents an outstanding opportunity to own an increasingly scarce piece of American target shooting history.
