Story with 12LRP that has shown up on the Savage website

[kfr01]

Does anyone know the story with the 12LRP target rifle that has shown up on the savage website? Is this a 2011 model? Does anyone have pics?

If you look under industry new on this site you will see the 2011 models.

The gun you are looking at is a 2011 model.

I find it intersting I would like to get one, and see what it is all about.

Sounds interesting

Looks like you get the Target action & accutrigger with a HS Precision stock at a lower price than the F/TR, Palma, and F-class guns in the Target Series. Shorter barrels (26"), highly-desirable calibers for long-range shooting or hunting and NO DARNED PICTURE !!

Here's a pic for ya:

Looks like the LRPV repeater model has been quietly discontinued and resurfaced as this gun. The specs are almost identical other than being blued and available calibers... and it's almost $300 cheaper. Apparently the barrel and the receiver are both chrome-moly which cut the cost some, and they were sitting on a bunch of LRPV/DBM stocks so there ya go.

I'll take two, and I'll need a coupla' cans of desert tan krylon. I take issue with painting a pretty stainless jobbie; but no so much the black thing.

We've got a local shop that does custom Duracoat camo jobs (pretty much zero talent in that department myself); been trying to decide between German flectarn or Campfire camo ;)

The bigger (higher res) picture I have makes it look more like a satin blue on the barrel and receiver, not sure I want to cover that up ;D
