opinions on savage FV12
« on: March 14, 2006, 05:42:48 PM »
I have been wanting a varmint rifle in .223 for awhile and have always been a Remington man when it comes to bolt actions,but I see Bass Pro is going to have a Savage FV12 for $420. I would like to hear some honest opinions about the Savage as far as out of the box accuracy, reliability, customer service etc. The price is half of the rifle I was looking at so I am curious what you get for half the money. Thanks for any feedback.

I have a model 12 stainless, laminated varmint in 223. It is an excellent rifle. Very accurate. What I think you get for half the price is a better more accurate rifle.

i know nothing about 223,however i have 3 savage rifles 25/06,250 savage(rebarrel),and 308. all three shoot .750" or better at 100 if i'm having a good day. the 25/06 is a 110fp and consistantly shoots under an inch at 200 once again if i can do my part. old hands and old eyes are always a handicap; some days better, some worse. for OTB accuracy you won't go wrong with savage,IMO.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!
