Savage 12fv factory barrel success pictures

[ktmracer358]

With the overwhelming flood of 12fv success stories I figured I would start a thread to show off your best groups. List your setup and the yardage you shot it. FACTORY BARREL ONLY PLEASE. Also intending to help people searching for reviews in the future.

For example this is my .308 12fv in a choate ultimate varmint stock, weaver 20moa rail, knockoff warne rings, monstrum tactical 4-14 scope, handloads with 155gr barnes match burners pushed by varget. This was shot at 100 yards and is a 5 shot group. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/a0ed9595511a2ccf7e14401366be8885.jpg

Nice group! I about a week out from having my Choate Tactical Stock with CDI bottom metal delivered. I have .223 12FV and really love the rifle. Which Choate do you have?

Nice. I have a 22-250 12 FV and shot 3 consecutive 1/3 inch 3 shot groups. I took a pic of the first one, but not sure where it is. All 3 looked like 2 shots side by side with the middle shot out. I was impressed. it is a BSA 6-24 Mil dot on it.

First three handloads (13th, 14th, & 15th rounds through barrel) - out of the box 12FV, 6.5CM, Vortex Viper HSLR, Nosler brass, CCI200, Nosler 129ABLR, 40.6gr RL16.

4770

.932" @ 185yds. Group was shot just before 4pm Jan 7th on a rickety shooting "bench" out the roll up door of my shop. So little daylight left I had to turn the lights off just to acquire target. Between weather and other commitments haven't been able to shoot more.

This was my first 3 round group while getting the scope zeroed. Shot with 175gr Barnes match burners over varget. Same setup. I could not be happier. Idk if it's the way the gun fits me or the gun it's self but it just shoots. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/e31ed29152bdfb57aed2978938acde90.jpg

12FV in .308 with an 18" hacksaw chopped barrel....

[hereinaz]

575 yards on the rusty plate.
1067 yards on the steel, 3 shot group, adjusted windage and shot 4 more.
100 yard zero, theee shot groups after I chopped the barrel to 22" and threaded.

Two long targets are shot with Federal Gold Medal Match. 130 bergers.

Zero target was shot with a load from a custom ammo company an buddy has. 140 bergers.

Went 7 for 9 off the tank trap at 300 yards... its a straight shooting rifle.

I did bed it in an accustock, but other than that, I did nothing else that improves accuracy.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/798385b54fd5cbda789ad48e0fc72c79.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/5ea50d0778416c246ce39674d8e84734.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/901fdb93dd1411e972e8f4dd0a37d0f4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/e313b8046f229c4de7066e504c3bc796.jpg

I posted this a short while back in the Range Reports forum, but since it applies here...

12FV in 223 Remington, Bell and Carlson stock, Vortex 6-24x50 HST, Leupold Mk4 20moa scope base, UTG Pro precision low rings, Harris S-BRM bipod, sub-half MOA at 100 yards with factory XM193. Surprised me. I'll do a hand-load work up with 69gr SMKs once it warms up enough to make it actually enjoyable.

I’ve been thinking about chopping mine! Those are some heavy barrels.

Nice looking gun Sterling. My phone broke that had the pics but my brother shot a 5/8” 5 shot group with my .204 12fv with Hornady Superperformance at 100yds. This was after sighting in the gun the first time out. These were shots 9-13 out of the gun. I expect it will get even better after a couple more boxes down the pipe.

Got a chance to take my 308 to the range again yesterday here are the results not to bad you can tell I have some to work on but clearly it will shoot groups 1-3 are shot with 175 match burners groups 4 and 5 with 155 match burners. No load development done for this rifle yet just picked a charge and did 25 of each. All in all I'm happyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180502/f53b31e9d46a55e2fc402bc6e374b8be.jpg

The two groups (middle and right) are mt best 100 yard groups so far with the rifle in the pic. The left group was my buddy's, shot with a box-stock .223 12FV off a Harris bipod. We were excited at first about the group size but he gets them pretty regularly now so it's no big deal anymore.

Damned fine shooting for run of the mill military ammunition!

[Nathan gravitt]

I have a 12fv in .204. Took the stock and bottom metal from a Savage LPV. Added a Leupold VX-2 6-18x40 with fine duplex reticle. This 3 shot group at 100 yds measured between 5/16” and 3-8” with 32 grain hornady superperformance box ammo.

[ktmracer358]

I don't think there is any question that the 12fv will shoot https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180606/9bf456804d678cc12be2818ec39c3069.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180606/e7797125e70f25d50e06fb3c61ac002d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180606/a37c92f6cfeefc2b11a0ab2cf7bfae73.jpg

I'm just learning how to shoot a rifle again after many years of only shooting pistols. Last time I was out I shot these two groups with my 6.5 off a bipod and rear bag. Fixed 10x Bushnell LRS, Burris tactical low rings, EGW 20MOA rail, Harris bipod.

I called the two fliers in the 5 round group, hence why I didn't include them in the group size.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180713/88056958473fe0ba72613c419944a93c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180713/ec79991ffb662cd48ed9dffb48ff7fd1.jpg
