Model 12 LRPV

[dead-bird]

I have aquired a Model 12 LRPV in .223.

It has all the features that I would expect except the X-Tra Heavy Barrel is not fluted.

I really like the left port.

Man, is it heavy.

Is the non fluted barrel at all unusual?

[Jamie]

Non fluted is the norm on that one.

Mine is fluted. It's a 7 twist. What's yours?

[Terry Balding]

They shoot great 1/4 MOA is the norm. Mine loves 80gr. Noslers.

I agree! Mine loves the 77SMK's. I am about to test the 80A-max for F-Class use.

Pretty sure the fluting on them is just in the past year or so. Any that are older than that did not have flutes.

1 in 9

That would make sense as the person I got it from said the 1 in 7 twist was not available when he got this.

[Jbpmidas]

Have you shot it yet? I just acquired a Savage 9 twist and am going to try the 77SMK's in it. What weight are you shooting. Mine is only a 21" barrel.

[dead-bird]

They shoot great 1/4 MOA is the norm. Mine loves 80gr. Noslers.

An average outing. If 1/4" is the norm, I better get to work




Best so far...
