BBW365 and others I am wondering since that is a BassPro rebate if it would be honored if purchased through Cabelas? I remember the stores being consolidated under one corporation, but was looking at the Bass Pro web site and they did not have the .204R listed on sale. Reason I am asking is Bass Pro is alot closer for me than any Cabelas store.

The rebate form says *nothing* about where you have to buy the rifle from. The odd thing is the 12FV rebate code is R9840, which is the same code that Vista Outdoors shows for Axis/Trophy Hunter models. There is no 12FV choice on the online rebate site.

I guess you will have to mail in the 12FV form and just follow through....or somebody call Vista and tell them to fix their online form. Has anyone gotten the recent 12FV rebate back yet???

I noticed the same this A.M. as I just submitted a rebate (Wallmart Axis) through Vista online and that promo does not list the 12FV. Also just had a short online chat with BassPro to see if they would honor the Cabelas site sales and the answer is no. Bass Pro being alot closer for me, but they do not have the 204R in stock or sale. Going to call the actual store later and see what I can work out.

I, too, live much closer to Bass Pro than to Cabelas and was told by both, I could order "by phone" and have it shipped to Bass Pro for pick up, no charge. I came to ask them this while returning an item I had ordered from Cabelas, but was returning to Bass Pro. It has to be by phone, because there is not an option for that when ordering online.

[DeadWoodDan]

I'll confirm that as of today. My Bass Pro said no problem, no charge or maybe five bucks at most. Called Cabelas and they instructed me to call their customer service and order over phone.

I’m in the same boat. Don’t see the 12fv in the drop down menu. I’ll send my info in and hope for the best

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

I’m impressed with the 22-250.its my do all rifle

My dad bought one of the cabelas sale 12FVs in 6.5 creedmoor last year and he's having some pretty bad extraction issues. We looked at the ejector and it looks beveled. The ejector on my 5yr old 10T is flat and does not have this bevel. It has had this issue from the start and he has only shot about 100rds through it. He has been trying to get in contact with Savage on this issue but ends up sitting on hold for hours at a time without anyone answering.

Is this a widespread issue? Can anyone confirm if the bevel is supposed to be there?

Completely normal...extraction is weak on all of mine, except the ones I put the SSS extraction kit on. Now they sling shells across the room....

Weak is an understatement on his... About 50% don't even make it out of the receiver. Are your factory ejector faces flat or angled?

This is were I get mine.... They are out of stock often as they sell so fast... I usually buy 2 at a time for each rifle.

All angled. When I got my first kit I did the extractor first and then the ejector. Extractor alone seemed like no change, but that longer, flat ejector with its stronger spring....that's the ticket.

Sorry...double posted and can't delete it...

Thanks for the response. I'm very disappointed in Savage. Despite the low cost, just can't recommend them to anyone anymore.
