I got a 12FV, put it in a Boyds Thumbholes stock and never looked back (and the fit is perfect, I did a very small amount of rear relief)

While I wanted a better barrel, I was getting some 3/8 and 1/2 groups out of the Savage barrel. It was not consistent, but I did not do a lot of load development with it either.

Quality wise it stacks up fine with the older 111 I got in 30-06. Nut is still serving good service on another gun.

Put the left over money into some good glass. I have done really well with used Cabella Alaska Guide scopes. One I got in 20x. Something about the cross hairs suits my eyeball.
