Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[holescreek]

The only one the local store has left is a .204 as well. Does anyone shoot these things? :rolleyes:

[alltherage]

I have a 12 vlp in 204 and it rocks. My dad really wants to commandeer it

[jpx2rk]

When I got both 12 FV's (223 & 204) I got a "rebate slip" that is similar to the actual receipt but it plainly states "rebate slip". Has anyone submitted this with the rebate forms and been successful in getting the rebate?? I know how these rebate things work, if you don't do it right the 1st time, you don't get a 2nd chance. Don't want to miss out on $200, that can go a long way on a scope for a rifle.

I would submit them separately, and make a photo copy of sales receipt too. When I sought the $100 dollar rebate on my 12FV a year ago, there was special address to mail it to that was different than the address on the rebate application. I applied for the rebate online first. That was important as some interpret the ad as not applying to the 12FV, but the ad clearly says ANY model 12.

I am going to send in each rebate request in a separate envelope so they won't think it's for the same gun even tho SN's are required. LOL.

Where did you get the different address to mail the form to that was different from what shows on the rebate application.

What website did you "apply online" at??

I did a search for "12fv" and came up with the discussion from a year ago with all the information you need. Here it is: http://www.savageshooters.com/showthread.php?44608-Difference-between-12FV-and-12-FCV&highlight=12fv

[jpx2rk]

got it, thanks. Guess I will call the #'s on the rebate form and go from there to see what they say. LOL

Does anyone remember if the rebate was still on in November of 2015?

If so what was it?

I tried and got rejected, trying to find out if I can get it post due to the system.

And what is the UPC for the 308 12FV ? My white sticker is clear but never did find out if they use the whole number, part of it and which one.

[jpx2rk]

I talked to the rebate center today, and the lady I talked to said to send the "white sticker" that has the bar code/model & SN/description. I just cut the end of the box off and taped it back up for storage purposes, and will mail the entire sticker/end of box in to the rebate center.

Ive done the same with success a couple times

[RC20]

Ok, worth a try, I will copy it but same idea.

Stopped by cabelas last night. They had 12fv's on sale for $349 and with the $100 rebate I couldn't pass that up. Picked up a 22-250 and a 204 ruger. Already have one in 308 and the first time shooting it it was shooting 1/2 moa. Hopefully these two will do the same.

If you do a google search for Savage rebate, I think you will find previous deals. IIRC, Savage changes the mix after June 30 each year. The ones that have a rebate from July-Dec are different than from Jan-June. I doubt the model 12 is in the July-Dec mix.

What parts would be needed Stomp 442 to convert a 12FV to a detachable mag?

[linexrandy]

I picked up two 12FV's this weekend in Lubbock TX, .308 and .223 flavor. Gun counter guy told me Savage wasn't discontinuing them. For what it's worth, when I put the .308 on layaway over the phone 2 weeks ago, Cabela's website updated from "limited stock" to "sold out" within 15 minutes on the .308. I only assume it was because I put it on layaway. 4 days later, they had more "limited stock" online of all 4 calibers. This weekend, they had several of each caliber. I have no clue why they get them in limited stock, but he assured me they would continue getting them from Savage. I picked up the .223 mainly because of the rebate and because it was there.

I couldn't resist the sale and picked up a 12FV in 22-250 today at cabelas. Wanted a 308 as a base to build a 6.5 CM, but this should do. Might need to change the bolt head.

The Savage website lists two twist rates for their line up of 22-250's but since this model is a Cabelas Special, it's not listed. Anyone know for sure what the twist rate is for a model 12FV in 22-250?

Doggonit....Didn't even think to look on Cabelas website. Thanks, JPX.

Trying to decide if I want to pull the barrel and sell it to fund a 6.5 CM build, or try it out first.

[alltherage]

If you try it, you will keep it, and will end up buying another 12fv. Take it from me
