Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[sazeracjack]

Its a .223. I'll probably go with the Nikon you recommended. What do you think about a Boyd's At-one stock?

I'm picking up my 12FV this Saturday. Any suggestions for a scope? I have a 100 yard range. Thanks!

Congrats Mr. Rye whiskey....First off, you opened a can of worms....Budget, application, hunting, target, fixed, variable, So many to choose....I attended to procure a Leupold VX2, 6-18AO, but settled with a Vortex Viper HS Long Range and didn't look back...When you pick up your FV, hold up a few scopes which by then you have narrowed down your search....my second time on range with the vortex gave me four rounds within a dime, one Frinkin flyer....not to far though, again second range day, so yes, I'm a fan on vortex for now. Good luck and congrats.

By the way Jack....That Sazarac Rye whiskey goes well with a Drew Estate Liga Pravda cigar....Noice

[sazeracjack]

Thanks for the Vortex info. I'll look into those. I'm impressed with your Sazerac knowledge. Spend time in New Orleans?

Just picked mine up about 30min before close and was in and out in about 15min so far first impressions are the trigger is set great and the barreled action seems awesome. Next to sell my axis 243hb to get a new stock, dies, powder and bullets.

I am now just waiting to see which I will get first, my rebates or my order from Optics Planet. 2 weeks on the O.P. order. I have made a note to myself never to order from them again.

Sometimes I think that stuff just happens. I ordered from SWFA a couple years back and had horrid service. However if you look around online they appear to be one of the better. Not sure why happened with my order, but I guess anything can happen.

Pretty hard to beat the Nikon Buckmasters for an affordable, good quality scope. My 2nd choice would be a Sightron SI, heavier but also a good quality optic for the $

I was all excited to put on my new walnut Heritage stock from Boyds today but unfortunately I screwed up & ordered Bottom bolt release instead.
Now I have to return it and wait another 2-3 weeks. It will cost me $30 re-stocking fee, better than I thought...

That’s not a bad looking piece of wood!

I agree! So glad I didn't put money into Claro X or XX, this wood is nice enough.

But I'm changing the checkering from "stippled" to "scales". I think it would be hard to clean dirt & blood out of the stippling.

That is pretty. Which Boyds model, wood, and stain is that?

Anyone else still waiting on theirs? I've got my email saying it was ordered 11/24 and they'd send another email when it shipped. But I haven't seen anything yet.

Nice stock. I see its cut for a dbm. Are you going to add bottom metal or use the factory dbm?

I've purchased the stuff from Savage for $110.

I ordered same day as you and picked it up last night. Check your order status on Cabelas website, they didn't send an email when it shipped.

I have their 12 X 42 and could not be more pleased, especially considering the $300.00 price.

That really does look nice. I've been tossing around the idea of having a traditional hunting setup. Why did you choose the Heritage vs the other options?

Thanks.
I didn't like the finger groove & cutouts on the forearm on the other styles.
