Well I bought my model 12 FV about 3 months ago and I am just getting most of it finished up where I can do some load developement. It is currently a .223rem but I am looking to make it a 22-6mm or 22-.243 or something in that range. Would like to still be able to deer hunt with it if I had to here in TX. Here's my list of parts and prices for everything done. Would love some feedback on the gun and from some more experienced builder since this is my first savage build. Thanks!

-Savage Model 12FV with harris 6-9" bipod $330
-B&C Medalist $200
-EGW 20MOA Base $38
-Burris XTR Low Rings $50
-Trigger work (Polish sear faces and new spring/Set at about 2.5lbs) $Free.99
-Glades Armory bolt handle $55
-Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50mm with BDC reticle

Next Steps
-Bedding job
-New calibered barrel
-Cartridge developement

This is how I got it
