Good day.
I live in South-Africa and recently bought my first Savage rifle.
I was actually looking for a low recoiling, accurate heavy barreled rifle specifically for culling. I usually use a suppressed 338 WM and a 30-06 for culling as they work well in windy conditions, but thought it was time for a lower recoiling, affordable to shoot rifle :)
I picked up a Savage 12 LRPV dual port 223 as I am hoping it will give me consistent accuracy and not heat up quickly.
Well, in short, that is how I ended up with my first Savage. I do however still have to collect the rifle from my local gun shop as we have a very slow licensing system around here.
Hoping that I could get some valuable info on these rifles in the meantime.
