Does anyone know if savage ever made a small shank, 26" varmint, SF, 7 twist barrel in .223. Barrel is marked model 12.
Model 12 VLP DBM 223 is available in a 26" 7 twist, fine gun
Rifle is still in production
Yuppers! Have one on my Mod 12 VLP - quite nice.
Get a gun and build it with a premium barrel and a really good trigger such as the sss.Then you can bed it yourself.
Huh? Nothing to do with this thread.Quote:

7 twist is sort of an overkill for 223 unless you want to shoot 90 gr bergers.
1:8 is enough or 80 gr bullets.
That said my gun shot 52 gr amaxes 1/4-3/8".
It also shot 90 gr bergers at 3/8"
