Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[bowhunt]

Well, one of them is a .22-250, which I don't shoot. Whether that's subject to change or it will be the host for a build is yet to be seen.

Is your 22-250 barrel unfired? If so....I would be interested in buying it if you decide to yank it off for a build.

Haha, no I couldn't resist the temptation to shoot it! It is boringly accurate, despite not being a chambering I tend to shoot.

I know what you mean. Mine is easily the most accurate rifle I've ever seen. That's the problem! Lol I shoot it so much that I can see me burning the barrel out of it in a couple years or less. I have heard of a lot of guys buying them for builds so I figured I would look for a new take-off to keep as a spare. Love this rifle so much that I wish they made it in 243.

[DrThunder88]

A fast twist .243 Winchester or a 6.5 Creedmoor would make it an ideal long range starter rifle. Well, it'd still need a cheek rest, but it would still be a better starter unit than the RPR or Stealth.

[bowhunt]

Yep. A 26" in this contour, with a 1 in 9.25", in one of the 6 mm flavors would definitely be a "reach out and touch 'em" piece for sure.

Just got my check back from the rebate for my 12FV.

FYI they also honored the $100 rebate on my 10T 6.5 Creedmoor I submitted even though it wasn't specially listed on the rebate.

[bowhunt]

Nice!

[762Armo]

How can you wait!?! I wish I had the patients you have! I'm going nuts over here trying to buy a scope for my latest buy and it's only been a week lol.


Received my scope, waiting for the rail and rings.

Side note, I tried to check on my rebate but the website doesn't show anything. Should I be concerned?

[bowhunt]

Just got an email notification that my 12FV rebate is on its way! :) Mailed it 1week before the deadline.

That's insane. I called and asked about that rebate and was told it wouldn't qualify. That's the reason why I held off on buying one. It's on sale now and I am basically getting it for $100 off now but still, I would have liked it earlier.

Can someone tell me if the internal mag spring and related parts will go flying/bouncing and rolling into the dark corners of my workbench if I take the tupperware stock off my 12FV? Will these parts stay with the stock when the action/barrel is removed?

I'm finally getting around to cleaning it up, mounting the scope and getting it ready for the range. Got a couple more days of rain being in the forecast, so I should get it done. :rolleyes:

They stay in the internal mag but I think they will come loose if you unclip the mag body from inside the receiver. I only had the mag body out of my old stock once when I first got the rifle.

[bowhunt]

Only had mine since the end of June and I have not had the stock off yet. To tell you the truth......it is so accurate that I am afraid to touch a screw on it!

[holescreek]

I had mine in and out of the stock a bunch while I was making the new one, accuracy was never affected. I thought it was strange when I saw that under the 4mm allen heads were 1/4"-20 threads.

[jpx2rk]

Thanks but just for clarification, will the mag spring & related parts stay with the "action" or with the stock forearm when the stock is removed?

I plan on taking the rifle to the range "as is", straight out of the box with the addition of the scope. The trigger pull seems ok so far and have only checked the actions screws and they did not move when I checked them.

What is strange about the 1/4-20 threads? I used a 5/32" allen wrench per the owners manual

[FW Conch]

^ 5/32" equates to 4mm ^ If his action screws are 1/4"x 20, that would be strange. They should be 1/4"x28 tip.

You're correct. I had a brain fart. Being 1/4"-28 made it simple for restocking.

[foxx]

The mag will stay attached to the stock. You can remove mag from stock if you choose to do so

[jpx2rk]

Thanks guys, I'm trying to learn these savage rifles. LOL

[RC20]

I think that's why we are here! (well and to pass on things we have learned as well, that's probably more important of the two but never stop learning either)

Great benefits both ways
