Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[devildogandboy]

Yeah, I see it now. Thanks.

Dang, I did miss out.

you might have missed the special but still for the regular price that's a great rifle. i was looking at them for awhile wanting either the 204 or 223 but put painting my house first for a change, it really needed it. now since having the house painted i can't afford even the special price, maybe next time i will have the money.

I went back today and they took care of me.

I wouldn't normally be able to afford two at one time, either, but I am building a couple 450BM's for some friends of mine and we needed the actions. Sweet, sweet deal, for sure. :)

[Lincoln4]

I got mine. The only one they had in .223. Only one other in the store, in 22-250. Including my $20 off with purchase of $150 coupon, $369.99. Now I have to wait as budget allows for a scope and rings...

[cowtownup]

Can somebody tell me if the action screw spacing on the 12FV is 4.4"?

[foxx]

Yes, ALL new short actions are center feed or 4.4

[RatMag]

I wish they would build these in .243Win and 6.5Creed!! They wouldn't be able to keep any in the stores!!

What trigger to you get with these? The photo on Cabelas website shows the accutrigger but the price seems to low for that.

[foxx]

^^^LOL Just seems too good to be true, doesn't it? I believe it is a varmint accutrigger. Regardles, it is an Accutrigger

[cowtownup]

I just got one in 22-250 but want to sell the barrel.. Whats a fair price for a new take off barrel like this?

[juan916]

Our cabelas had them on sale for $369 on fathers day so my wife purchased me one in 223

[YDKDY]

Just went down to pick up a .22-250, but am delayed in the NICS background check. Ugh!!! There is also a $20 in Cabelas points coupon that works right now for firearm purchases.

[jlosho]

I purchased one of these in .22-250 last Friday at the $390 price. It had a factory label on the stock as a "Cabela's exclusive" - or something to that effect. AFIK, the 12FV is obsolete with Savage now selling the FCV version with detachable mag. Guessing Cabela's placed some qty factory orders to get a good price. Based on tear down and mechanical inspection/measurement, things look fine as to workmanship, so I'm happy there so far. Yes, the stock is what it is - a low budget one. This is my first Savage and it's intended to be a low-cost varmint rifle (w/Mueller Eraticator 8.5X25 50mm, DNZ 1-pc mount).

I just picked up a 223 today. It's a good deal and you get the top bolt release.

I'd say $125-175

[cowtownup]

Thanks Foxx... If anybody is interested just let me know. I'm a paid member, I just don't feel like starting a for sale thread.. Haha...

[DrThunder88]

The siren song of a new gun got me. I picked up a .308 Win version today (yesterday, really). I had a $25 off coupon as well, so I'm pretty happy with the deal. I might try submitting it for the rebate too just to see. The worst they can say is "no".

[Kadams1563]

I have to drive 2 hours to a cabelas and they are out of stock on the .308. Blah. Good find.

[NASIROKLA]

Just picked one up in 308. 389 plus 20 cabelas bucks. Not sure which accutrigger it is. But iti definately feels much lighter and crisper than one i have set as light as possible on my 111-06

[meangreenlx50]

Shot mine today after picking one up on sale last weekend. It shoots good. My uncle said it was like cheating. What is the best source for the parts to convert to DBM as far as price?

[Tanker]

Hi guys. Just seen these for sale at my Cabelas here in WA. Do any of you know if this model 12fv is the small shank?
