I started shooting 5 months ago with the help of a mentor. After deciding F class was where I wanted to compete it was time to purchase my own rifle. We chose the Savage model 12 F T/R in .308. Great shoot straight out of the box and have not looked back. Competed in my first F Class competition a couple weeks ago, took first in F T/R and second in overall match with a 587 - 26 X. Looking forward to the next match!
