convert to single shot

[Chuck Phelps]

I have just received a Savage Model 12 FV. I am going to set it into a benchrest stock when the stock shows up. Have shot it a few times and would prefer that it had a single shot adapter in it. Is there such a thing for this gun? I know many of the rim fire guys use something like this.

My Winchester 52D is a single shot and I am used to that. I would like to continue loading this way.

The Savage is a 223 and I will be putting my Weaver T 36 on it as soon as the rail shows up. After the stock gets here I will be starting the load development.

Last time I did any reloading I was loading for a 270 Winchester and a 6.5 x 55. Miss the 6.5 x 55 but did not care much for the 270.

SSS is the only place to get a centerfeed adapter that I know of.I got one from them and it works great,the only problem is the 4 month wait for them to ship one out.

I just ordered mine Tuesday and Lisa said it was packaged and would be shipped out today

Bootsmaquire posted a while back about a self made single shot adapter made from locally available sheet aluminium. (Alum flashing, or soda can metal). I made one and found it works way better than the single shot adapters I had bought!! I ditched my single shot adapters and replaced them all with sheet alum.

Have you check Midway? They may have something (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/301807/score-high-bench-rest-single-shot-follower-savage-long-or-short-action-22-250-remington-243-winchester-308-winchester-aluminum) that will work.
