    mod 12's qestions


    I've been to frequently asked questionss -didnt see anything on mod 12 actions
    my 1st question is are all mod 12's large shank- & short action ?
    & do all have 3 action screws ?
    which are repeaters & which are Single shot?
    Im looking at buying a mod 12 -BVSS
    this is a varmit action is it the same as target action ?
    I believe varmit & target actions have different accu triggers ?
    All the new mod 12's Ive looked at are SA
    but I looked at a used BVSS for sale chambered in 300WM
    if they are all SA -I supposed it would be a single shot only -in a LA caliber ?
    Im trying to do all the research before buying another Savage
    thanks for any responces

    All two digit models, 10, 11, 12 etc. are short actions. Most are small shank but some are large. I will leave the rest of your questions for the real experts on here.

    Re: mod 12's qestions

    now we know not all are large shank -maybe its just target actions ?
    my understanding is Target actions are Single shot only & have a lighter accutrigger with a red blade
    & some varmit actions have blind mags - some dbm's ?
    dry beans does yours have 3 action screws?
    &what kind of stock ?-mag system ?
    went to Savage web page & found some var 12 have dbm -some are matte-some stainless
    on the target 12's only LRP has a dbm
    still dont know about action screws -kinda think only target action have 3
    some one will eventually shed some light on this for us - I hope

    The biggest source of confusion is that they make 2 different 12 series.
    The 12 Target Series and the 12 Varmint Series.

    12 Series Target Actions are all large shank yes. The 12 Varmint series has a large shank if you get a 12 VLP DBM in 300 WSM.
    my understanding is Target actions are Single shot only & have a lighter accutrigger with a red blade
    The 12 Long Range Precision is a target action repeater detachable box with the target trigger. Which I see you figured out below after I typed this.....doh!
    & some varmit actions have blind mags - some dbm's ?
    Yes both the Varmint 12s and the Target 12s come both ways.
    still dont know about action screws -kinda think only target action have 3
    Yeah the Varmint 12s are really just regular SA Savages with a Varmint weight barrel on it.

    taken from someone who knows- post in firearms for sale

    red accu trigger is target actions only - which are also large shank -
    now if I knew what the difference in the number of action screws & spacing was, Id almost be there
    target actions have 3 -& come in different spacing
    what is the difference in the differently spaced action screws?
    how many action screws on varmit actions - & what is the spacing on them ??????

    The ones Jim is currently selling are listed as SA CF with DBM, so 2 screw 4.4" I would wager
