Like many here I succumbed to temptation and pick up a model 12 fv in 22-250 from Cabela's last night. With the rebate going on it's hard to resist. Didn't have an extra scope, so I pulled the Mueller APV 4.5-14 off my .22lr and headed out for a little range time this morning. I'm pretty impressed with it so far.
Shooting was done at 100 yds with front and rear bags on a homemade portable bench, that's became a little rickety over the years, and factory ammo.
Seemed to like Hornady 45gr and 55gr v-max the best. Not horrible with Winchester 45gr jhp. Did not like any kind of soft point I put through it.
5 shot 55gr v-max
3 shot 45gr v-max
5 shot Winchester 45gr jhp
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. Especially when my skill on the trigger is average at best.
If anyone was looking at the 12 fv and having doubts, get one. You won't regret it. For $319.99 after the rebate, you can't beat them.
