Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[Bdblk12v]

I sent 2 rebates in and called vista. They told me it takes 4 weeks from mail in date for them to update it online. I have had one get approved and can track it on vistas website. You should get and email.

6.5 CM shows in stock in my store and online. No email yet though. :chargrined:

Chop House give Vista a call. When I called, a nice helpful lady fixed the issue with my rebate (was denied in error) in a couple minutes. My card arrived about 4 weeks later.............and was spent shortly after that...

Used my $100 rebate yesterday. Check out total was $256.95. Cabelas knows how to fish too.

[kcb38]

Good news: order status changed to "shipped."
Bad news: another caliber to stock.

:cool:

Can someone verify that the Boyd's stock that fits my 12FV is the:
SAVAGE 12 TOP BOLT RELEASEAT-ONE SAVAGE 12 TBR DETACHABLE MAG SA FBC
Item #: 43A334D741ZZ

I ordered floor plates and magazines from Savage.


^^^^That's correct, because you are adding detachable mag bottom metal.

Just as a follow up, I've been sanding the barrel channel on that stock for hours and it's still not free floated. I'm running out of material at the front end of the stock. :(

There's plenty of stock material so it can be opened up for Savage Varmint barrels. I 've done maybe 200 of them.

I've got it sanded down to the threaded insert at the front and there is just a couple of thousands clearance now. Here is one that is barely free floated and one that hasn't been touched yet.

????? Is the barrel mounted to the action?

[RustyShackle]

Dang, that’s a heavy profile bbl. I would pillar and bed that stock and try to raise the action up 1/32” or so. That should help.

[foxx]

I don't understand what you are trying to do here and how you are checking for clearance. The channel simply needs to be opened up a bit and then try setting the barreled action into the stock, holding the action down into the stock and check for clearance. It appears to me as though you have the action tipped down in the front, causing the barrel to be pointed too far down.

Yes!

I'll post another pic of the action/barrel bolted into the stock.

Just another data point for wait times. I ordered my 6.5CM on 2/16 and showed it up 3/16. I picked it up this weekend. It looks good but you really are just buying a barreled action. I can't imagine wanting to leave the factory stock on it. Flimsy as can be. Not complaining, just making an observation.

Other than the fact it's not opened up with an even, circular contour, I don't see a problem. Is the action level in the stock? Is the barrel free floated now? If yes to both, it should be fine.

[Johanson]

Yes to both.

Shoot it!

Well, fire the rifle, shoot a target. :)
