Savage 12 LRP

Try darkeaglecustom.com. They have a 10 round mag for the LRP. I ordered one and it works well.
I have a DarkEagle. It works fine. I saw a 10 round factory magazine that looked just like it at the range, so I called tech support. The factory mag is $58. The Dark eagle was $95. The tech support person was looking up everything as we spoke. I am not sure we were on the "same page" at any time during the call. I will call again, SN in hand, and wait for a tech in the parts department to confirm compatibility. The tech support "backup" I spoke with was not confident with the magazine's compatibility as well because I did not have my serial number.

I split the difference on the torque settings for the action screws during yesterday's shoot without incident.

Federal is releasing a 6.5mm CM load in the new Gold Medal Berger series this year.
I saw that on the Federal website. Looked like 130 grain?? It will probably be very expensive.

Per some of the articles I have seen on it, it's the 130gr Hybrid OTM bullet.

Expensive compared to what? Midway USA has a pricing up on this load now and it's the same price as the Hornady Match loads ($28.99 per box).

sgammo has 140 eld for $23.95 @ 10 boxes

Last trip to range with my Model 12 LRP gave me 3 rounds in same bullet hole at 100 yards. If someone will tell me how to upload pics I will, I was so happy I took lots of pics.
Shooting my reloads...140 gr Hornady ELD-X bullets...40 gr Accurate 4350. First batch using that powder and bullet combo. Scope is an IOR 6-24 x56.

Hornady 120gr ELD Match 4 rounds @ 100. I was having trigger issues with my 12 LRP today. The rifle would not fire after chambering a round. The trigger goes dead or I could hear a click and I could see and hear the cocking indicator Dropping after pulling the trigger. I am thinking the trigger was set to light from the factory. Any ideas what maybe the cause?

Did those string one direction or the other?

I have a semi custom 116 in 6.5x284 and a factory 10fcp-sr in 6.5 creedmoor and the factory creedmoor shoots every bit as good as my norma with factory ammo. Mine really likes the 140 match eld's and the winchester 140 match bthp. Will shoot both of those loads into one hole if i can do my part. Unbelievable for a factory gun and ammo.

I have the Savage 6.5 LRP and also and had the same trigger issue. I believe I read on here that if you don't get a solid pull, or if you half blade it the blade will trip the cocking indicator but not the firing pin. Since I made a small change to finger position I have not a problem since. And try the 140 gr ammo, the LRP is throated for the 140's and should tighten up for you.

Yep, it is a light trigger adjustment, if you cycle the bolt slowly it probably won't trip the sear. Doesn't go bang because of the accutrigger. I have one set about 6 ounces and it will trip if you don't cycle the bolt gently or push on the trigger blade with any sideways pressure. You should have gotten the tool to adjust it with the rifle though you will have to remove the action from the stock to adjust it.

Did that fix the problem? If so, how light was the trigger at the time?
