    Cabelas just marked the 204 to $329, the 223 and 22-250 down to $349. I just pulled the trigger on a 223, I hope that it is as good as what I have seen here.

    Good looking rifle. What paint did you use for the stock? How hard is it to load with the one piece rail? Finally, what stock pad is that?

    I’ll take a pic of the paint in the AM

    Not to hard to kid with a one piece rail. The pad is a BlackHawk, $12

    Started to take this thing out hunting this year and thought better. I'd have to carry it with the barrel down because it's barrel heavy. Anyone know what the weight difference would be hacking off 6"? I'm not a bench shooter so I'll either hack it or sell it. Honestly hate to hack it when a bench shooter might be out there looking for one. 500 yds would be the furthest I'd hunt....and that would be a stretch.

    You can sell the barrel or trade it for a lighter factory barrel. Cutting it down would no make a huge difference in weight, kill the barrel value, cost more (unless your doing it yourself) to cut straight and crown than just buying a good used barrel. The barrel is more practical for Varmint and target shooting, I agree.

    Brought my new 12 fv 22-250 home yesterday. Scoped the tube and find some really bad pitting about an inch and a half from the muzzle. It covers 2 lands and the groove between them. Its apparant it was a flaw in the steel before machining. I'm going to see how it shoots. If it's really bad I can take 2 inches off to get rid of it. Good price on the gun and the cheap stock is better than the old ones were.

    I have cut down several of my 12FVs with nothing more than a hacksaw, sander, and a shell reamer to re-crown them. They all shoot 1/2"... On my .233 cutting of 6" saved 14oz, and that is 14oz of heavy mass swinging from the end. It makes a noticable difference in the handling.

    Just bought a 12FV at Cabelas Sat. Noticed you cannot choose 12FV in the R 9840 rebate form. Called Vista, waited 14 minutes to get a person. Explained the problem, she said to use R9828 for a $50 rebate. I told her that promo ended 12/31/18. She said it was good till 1/31/19 wrong! I remember the good old days when companies had real customer service. Big buying groups suck.

    BBQ365, Where did you find the link to the 12FV $60 rebate. The folks at Vista act like it doesn't exist. I told them the sell at Cabelas and the rebate was the only reason I bought the gun. Looks like I'm stuck without a rebate.

    I've been on the phone for a half hour with Vista. They have sent the link to someone higher up to see if they will honor the rebate. Said they would get back within a week! Buyer beware!

    I intend to pursue this till the end. I own 13 Savage rifles. I didn't need the one I bought Sat. But at $349 plus the rebate it was a no brainer. It makes me sick to think what has happen to our gun companies when families that were proud to run there family businesses sold out to bean counting buying groups. Nuff said.

    Vista called me back yesterday and told me to use Rebate R9840 and choose axis as 12fv is not one of the chooses. I completed the form online and got a submission ID#. So looks like it went thru. Time will tell!

    I went to BassPro website https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/sava...t-action-rifle and they have a link to click on (blue tab) that has a rebate form as you listed R9840 with a picture/label of a 12fv on it. How Vista could not know of this IDK? This isnt like its the first time for rebates either, and last time it wasnt (12fv) listed and we got $100 then. I dont think they would have fired everyone there from last winter, someone has to remember. I could be wrong.
