Without regard to the barrel or stock they come with as a total package, can someone differentiate (in detail) the difference between a Model 11 and Model 12FV action. I see NSS sells the as different products for different prices.
Thanks,

Frequently asked questions link above.
Boy, I looked at every thread in that forum and could not find one who's title implied it addressed the difference between the model 11 and 12fv actions. I read a few that held promise of shining some light on the differences, but they didn't pan out. Could you be more specific of the exact thread so I don't have to read through all of them?Quote:

I have a 12FV and a 12BVSS but have not seen a model 11 up close. I'm trying to decide if the blued model 12 is worth paying more for than the model 11 action to build a rig up from.

Have a model 11 and a model 12 VLP, and the difference that I can tell is really just the trigger. The 12 has a slightly lighter pull. From what I have learned, that is really the only difference between a model 11 and a 12FV.
OK, FV, synthetic stock with heavy barrel.
So what is the difference between the 11 and 12 and 14 and 16? I didnt find that in the faq, or at least if its there the subject title is not clear.
Here is the info on Savage's site (expand each model and check the specs):

To answer your question, Savage only makes two actions, a long and a short, everything else is a variation of that. A model 11 and a model 12 are the exact same action, they only difference would be the 12 has a lighter spring in the accu-trigger. Finish has some things to play as well. A model 10Fp will have a pauperized finish, and a 10g will have a blued finish.A model 11 will be blued, a model 12 can be blued or stainless. a model 16 is stainless. but in all incidents they are the same action.
Thanks 82boy. That was what I needed to know.
