Put it in a chassis, buy a mag, and done. It is not anything more than that. Don't over complicate it. Go look at any of the chassis at MDT, XLR, etc. to see for yourself.

Just called my local store to ask about an update and they said I could be waiting months. :-( And he said that the 12FV is NOT included in the rebate and it is a website misprint. I am so confused as it is still on the site that way. He said to call corporate for the latest as all orders are processed from there. Anyway, just sharing my journey with this. :-)

Several of us confirmed the rebate with the rebate company. It does apply. Just fill it out once you get it.

Very happy to hear this and thank you for the reply.

I'm hoping they arrive sooner rather than later, but at Savage they produce based on demand and schedule. I waited almost 9 months once for a rifle.

Still curious if the 12FV has an older style firing pin, or if they have started using axis style non adjustable?

You happen to have the phone number for the rebate company?

Has anybody actually asked Savage Arms?

Thanks.

Look on the rebate form for the number. Cabelas lists the 5 digit model number in the description.

You can call Savage, but they'll refer you to the rebate company. That's why they pay them to fascilitate it.

I ordered a 12FV .308 on 09/13/2017. As of now, the order status for it is In Process. I decided to order a 6.5 Creedmoor yesterday (09/18/2017). It is now showing the order status for the Creedmoor as Shipped. I think many will be seeing their rifles sooner than later.

I just checked on my status(6.5 cm) Order placed 09/08/2017. Still shows processing. =(

I ordered a 22-250 12FV when they were on sale back in February. My order date was February 16, 2017. It arrived at the Cabela's store on April 3, 2017. I seem to remember some saying they received theirs faster. So, I think it might just be luck of the draw on who receives theirs first.

I'd go right now and buy a Powerball ticket as you seem to have won all the luck today he he..my order was on 9/9 and I was told that new orders would not be put in front of mine. Apparently I got lip service :-) mine still "in process" and told yesterday I could be waiting months..

They had "limited stock" of 308's on 9-15 . I don't see why they would list that unless all other orders were filled.

I was thinking the same thing. Yesterday for a short time the 6.5 was on Limited stock as well. I just got off the phone with corporate and after talking to the very nice and helpful lady, and I'm not being sarcastic, I came to the conclusion that there's no rhyme or reason to how the orders are filled. She said that she was going to check into what's going on and make a note of my call and try to ensure that orders are filled in the order they were placed. Quite honestly I think they're overwhelmed by the amount of orders because she said there are a ton of orders for these things in 6.5.

One of my reasons for ordering two 12FV 6.5CM's. One order placed early in the morning of 9/7 and one on 9/18. Maybe one of them will ship one day!

I ordered my 6.5 on the 10th, order still shows in process. I wonder if store location has any influence on who get theirs first.

Ordered my 12 FV 6.5 Creedmoor on 9/15 and got a email today that it is ready for pick up. Only 5 days. Not too bad!

That's great news! I'm getting annoyed at this point though....I ordered mine on 9/9 and still no progress....

It must have something to do with it. It makes no sense that guys ordering a week after us are getting them already while we stare at "in progress" :-/

I owned a Savage 12FV pre-accutrigger several years ago in .223 that I used mostly for prairie dog in Wyoming and South Dakota. That rifle could shoot and many hits were made on prairie dogs out to 800 yards with that rifle. My 10FP in .308 has also been a great, accurate rifle. I really didn't need a 6.5 Creedmor but at this price I couldn't pass it up.

Regular price $419
-$100 off Sale Price $319
-$100 Visa Gift Card mail in rebate offer ( I spoke to a Savage rep today and confirmed the 12FV is eligible for this offer in addition to the 12FVC)

-$50 Cabelas gift card that was on sale last month for $41.00
-2x $50 Cabelas Gift cards from my wedding last month

+$10 Oregon State Police background check fee
$84 out the door using slightly fuzzy math.:smile-new:
