That's great news! Thanks for the info!

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?

What kind of DBM? Are you looking for factory magazines or something that uses AICS-style magazines?

[Robert777]

Bought one in 223 here in ga for 419. They gave me $50 in cabela bucks which I bought bullets for reloading and with that purchase they gave me another $20 in Cabela bucks. So they gave me $70 in cabela bucks. Sweet deal! This is my first savage and first post.

[Rosco]

Congratulations and welcome to the addiction!!

[meangreenlx50]

Was thinking factory Savage, but if the new Scout uses AICS then that would be better. I could at least have some commonality with my Ruger Gunsite.

[Big Boom]

What you just described is exactly what i did. Bought the 12 fv and re-stocked it. now i have a 600-800 yd. tack driver.

MY son shot his new 12fv in .223 for the first time since break-in with hand loads a couple of weeks ago. New shooter, new gun, but still the tupperware stock did pretty good off sand bags and then bi-pod. Did a load work up with 53 g Hornaday V-Max and found a good node at 25.0 gr. of 3031 and according to book, doing about 3250 fps.

Santa is bringing him a laminate stock for Xmas so we'll spend the holidays bedding it and punching holes in paper. Can't wait!

I know this is an old thread but wanted to chime in that Cabela's has the 12FV for $419.99. I picked up one in 308 today but wasn't sure if the current $100 rebate would apply to the lower end Model 12. Happy to inform that my online pre-submission was accepted after entering the model and serial numbers.

Seems crazy not to buy at least one at $319.99 after rebate..

[SUTTERERMAN85]

I bought a 223 a week or so ago. I sent in for the rebate as well. Trying to talk myself into another one...

[bvil]

I thought about getting one in 223 as well but the SP101 327 Mag that they had was more important at the time.

[Rgorzkajr]

I bought one in 22-250. $350 before rebate. Just cashed the rebate check. $250 tac driver that knocks the bull out of the target at 100 yards With a $200 Nikon scope! Very happy with it. Hard to find fault with the stock at that price.

[iowasavage]

How did you get the savage 12fv for 350. For that price I'll buy 2 more

[Newsshooter]

No Cabela's in Calif, time for a drive. :(

[Rgorzkajr]

I called to make sure they had one in.223 and they said they had two and would hold one. A made a four hour drive with a 9 and a six year old. Showed up and .223 Was sold out. Next best option was 22-250. The manager felt bad and knocked the price down to $350 from $419.

[ivob]

have one in 22-250

[4runnerman]

I have the Model 12 FVSS. I could nnot be happier with it. It is so accurate that it's scary. We glue 9MM Cases on a board primer down, set at 100 yards and play Tic Tac Toe

[rporthopod]

drove from Houston to Austin in Dec. to get one in 308. It was my first savage and this thing is accurate, I was planning to rebarrel but I'm going to keep this and just bought another one Wednesday in Houston with a 100 rebate. Original plan was to rebarrel the second gun to 6.5 and sell the 308 barrel unfired.

[alltherage]

I am on that exact same plan. Cant decide on 6.5 creed vs x47
