Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[Wreck-n-Crew]

Out of curiosity, are the older 12FV stocks more flimsy than the current production? I got one last month and the stock is pretty rigid. By the way this thing is a shooter! I have some load development to do but the 30 rounds I had previously loaded so far have been sub MOA.

My brother got a 300 WSM in a 12FV 6 or 7 years ago and paid $750 for it and it is a heavy gun with a nice stock. I am pretty sure it bears no resemblance to the 12FV that is a cabelas only gun. As far as just the current ones vs the ones a couple years ago... I am not sure, but mine from last fall doesn't have that bad of a stock. It is worlds better than the axis stock, but not as good as an accustock.

That's exactly my observation. I opened the channel up a little more though it seemed fine and torqued it down good after a trigger adjustment. It's a shooter for sure.
