Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[ChadRat6458]

I am on the backorder wait list. I ordered mine on the first day of the sale. I want the 6.5cm. The web site said it had limited stock in store. I was thinking they would fill from the in store stock. I guess not. They do have my money on hold in my bank account. I went to Cabela's over the weekend. They are now out of stock for the 6.5cm. They did have the Cabela's covenant scope in the bargain cave for half price. Got a scope now need a rifle.

I’m waiting on my gift cards to get here so I can hurry and order one. This will be my first Savage and I’m stoked!

Good luck with the calebas scope, my last cabelas scope from the bargain cave lasted 6 shots. :-(

I purchased my 12FV in .223 on 2/1/2018, not knowing that the sale was coming. I still get the rebate but missed out on the $50 off sale. I did get a $20 discount for veteran status, so I missed out on $30... I was a bit sore about that until I started looking at stock levels in the stores around us. As of yesterday, there isn't a 12FV in .223, .204, .243, or 6.5 CM in any of the 3 stores within driving distance. I feel better about missing out on the sale as I have over 70-rounds down range and am not waiting on a backorder to deliver! :)

After finding and reading several posts from this thread, just drove 2 hours to the closest Cabelas last night and picked up the Savage 12FV in 223. It is my 1st Savage and 1st 223. Plan on mounting a Vortex Crossfire scope and reloading 223 for it soon. Got the $50 sale price, 5% veterans discount and will send in for the $100 rebate today. Been reading the site recently, glad I found it.

I've had a blast shooting mine so far. Did the 20-shot barrel break-in procedure, zeroed, and having a blast. I'd forgotten how much fun it is shooting something like a .223 after mainly shooting .308 and 7mm Mag. The FV is heavy enough that shooting from a bipod, I can pretty well maintain eyes on the target through out the shot. These 12FVs are amazing rifles for what they cost!!

What was price on this 12fv gun at Cabelas before sale ended and what was the rebate amount off the price before sale ended in i guess 2017 ? thanks. Marty

The regular price of $419.99 has been standard for awhile now. The fall sale last year was for $100.00 off in the store, then the $100.00 rebate brought it down to $219.99 plus any local sales tax. Other than the in-store sale price being only $50.00 lower this go around, the rebate is mail-in only now instead of the option of filing on-line like last time.

Either way, last time the rebate process was extremely slow for most, regardless of whether mailed or on-line. Two rifles purchased in Sept, one was on backorder for over a month, 1st rebate arrived just before Thanksgiving, second rebate took until Jan of this year to arrive.

Ya, Cabelas has really been offering great prices on these Savages but be forewarned getting the gift card takes time. Be patient it'll come. That goes for the rifles too. If you order a caliber and it gets backordered, it'll come but be prepared to wait.

[kcb38]

If you order a caliber and it gets backordered, it'll come but be prepared to wait.As long as it shows up before the rebate has to be mailed I don't mind. Heck I shouldn't be buying this thing right now anyway but this deal is just too good to pass up.

[ChadRat6458]

My status has changed to shipped. I should get it any day now. I can't wait. I got 40 rounds of Hornady Black from Academy today. $20 a box. I will need to learn how to reload. Also waiting on my scope rings and base.

[OLEJOE]

I enjoy the reloading almost as much as the shooting. It’s very gratifying to shoot little bitty groups with your own reloads.

[kcb38]

Gift cards showed up today and I just placed the order for a 6.5CM. Now I just hope it shows up before the rebate mail in deadline. Thanks to you guys for posting up the tip on the gift cards.

[kcb38]

Would it be overly optimistic to start checking my email for shipping confirmation? Hahaha!

First post on here, I just picked one of these rifles up in 308 and am trying to do the rebate and not mess it up. So my understanding is the rebate for the tshirt and koozie I can do online and the one fro the $100 gift card must be mailed.

When doing the online and it asks for the serial number is that the actual serial number on the rifle?

Also what must be included and mailed back? In the papers that came with it are two pieces of paper the first looks to be just a packing slip with my order details on it, the second mentions the promotion and also says "important mail this coupon." however on the back the instructions are for returning merchandise, not getting a rebate. So are there other instructions somewhere?

Thanks in advance guys I realize these are all probably pretty stupid questions but I don't wanna mess this up and have to wait 6 weeks to find out.

Every one I've ever mailed in required your register receipt or a copy of your online order invoice, showing price and date of purchase. And yes, they're asking for the serial number of the rifle. They also want the UPC off the box. All of this should be mentioned on the rebate form itself. Check the form linked above. I don't know what form comes in the box.

Thank you!!! The form that is on Cabela's website is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't even think to look there for it.

[isacpotatoes]

They never did have this rebate on the vista promotions sight, regardless of what was printed on your rebate slip or anything printed on this thread. Perhaps in the past they did, but not for this Second Amendment Cabela's promotion. How do I know this? Simple, I went to the site and it did not list it, just the free stuff which doesn't by the way include shipping.
You will find the rebate forms link on the Cabela's online ad for the 12FV;

http://www.cabelas.com/product/home/nd-amendment-promotion/firearms/pc/105625080/c/157645080/sc/157642380/savage-fv-varmint-rifle/1994604.uts?slotId=0

You simply click on mail in rebate and it will take you right to the forms and instructions.

I bought 2, they are as advertised, blind mag, varmint contour barrel, accutrigger and plain Jane stock. They shoot like most all the Savages, under and inch without any problems and can do bug holes if you put a decent stock, hand loads or factory and good glass on them. Available in Ruger .204, 22-250, 223, 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor

Any other questions?



SALE $369.99
Original Price: $419.99
Save $50.00
http://www.cabelas.com/assets/images/catalog/productbadge/bdg_mailinrebate.png


$100.00 mail in rebate.
Final cost, $269.00







I'm in California, and assuming Cabelas will ship to me, I think I still have to pay for an FFL transfer. After tax online it's $400. Most shops in CA tell me they charge $140 for all paperwork. That is the DROS and FFL transfer fee.

So I guess at most this gun after rebate will cost me ~$440, before I look at a stock. Any recommendations on a stock for the Savage 12FV?

I've been somewhat on the fence about this deal. Been lusting for one of these in .204 Ruger to see what all this .20 cal fuss is about. After some time spent on YouTube today watching guys shoot crows and coyotes out around 500 yards and reading through this thread, I just went ahead and pulled the trigger. My local Cabela's sold out of these about two days after the promotion hit so of course it's backordered, but that's fine with me. It'll give me time to research dies, bullets, powders, upgrades, optics, and all the other foolishness that goes along with a new purchase. A friend of mine bought one of these in 6.5 Creedmoor during the last promotion. Got it for $219 after rebate, mounted an enormous Sig scope (can't remember the model) and dropped it into an MDT chassis. It will put every round into the same hole at a hundred.
