My first couple of Savage rifles were the 110 and the muzzle loader with one style of bolt handle I always thought was ugly. When I recently decided to buy a varmint rifle in 223 I looked at a newer bolt design and saw a larger bolt that was much more attractive. When I ordered and received my new model 12 FV yesterday I noticed a newer design where the bolt is bent to the rear and tapered similar to my old Model 70 Winchester only without the hole in the bottom. I like it. None of the new design showed up in pictures I've seen of the 12 FV. I hope they also change the design of the standard 110 rifle. The action of this new rifle is slick.
