I spoke to people at the gunn counter in Pennsylvania saturday and what people are asking about sale wise the 12 fv in particular......that is the big question......the answer they gave me was ( Cabelas does not own the store anymore its Bass Pros ballgame now) I bought one anyway.....who knows bass pro may raise the price after the holidays...…...
Cabelas is gone.... I've noticed it's steady decline over the last 5-6 years as far as customer service and the availability (or lack there of) of a vast many things. Now, after BP took over, it's just like BP and all of the "QUALITY" that we used to go to Cabelas to get, is just the same cheap junk that all of the other "outdoor" stores sell.
I haven't seen anything in the catalog's over the last 3 months that even interest me.... So SAD!

Crappy pic but I just plunked my 12FV 6.5CM into the XLR Element chassis I picked up on black Friday. It was a good shooter in the cheesy factory stock. Can't wait to see how it does from a solid platform.

How do you like it? Let us know once you get some range time with it. In the market for a chassis also.

Pulled my new 12fv out of the safe to install the scope and found there is no rear trigger guard screw installed.
WTF!
Seriously, I thought Savage was better at QC than this.

Just call Savage customer service... They'll send you one...(should be at no charge) I'm sure the QC on the FV isn't quite as high as their other lines, that are not a Cabelas or Walmart exclusive model.

It seems like a real quality piece. Hoping to have a range report by Saturday.

Thats gotta suck! Might want to check the action screw torques too. Torque the front screw to 45 INCH pounds and rear screw (front trigger guard screw) to 25. The rear trigger guard screw only holds the guard and is not torqued, just snugged. If Savage doesn't come through for you in this week between Christmas and New Year, PM me and I'll put one in the mail to. I have several spares.
What caliber did you buy?

Mighty nice of you to offer one up.
I picked up one in 6.5 Creedmoor. Plan to grab another this summer in .204 or 22-250

Must resist! The struggle is real.
The .204 was the only one at regular price when all the others were down to $379 when I bought mine
I dont think it will get any cheaper. I do hope they flop sale prices between calibers again. They started with the 204s on sale(379) first this last time too.
