With the 12fv you can get into the BrotherHood of the Barrel Nut and start swapping out barrels and calibers, with the 25 you can't.
If you are going for looks then may I suggest the model 12 vlp with the thumbhole stock, it is more money but you get all you want from the factory, going with a fv you have to try and find the replacement stock. Been there and done that more than once,it is easier to buy from Savage.
