Just wanted to introduce myself as a new Savage Arms owner. I am slowly getting into prairie dogging and coyote hunting. Hoping my new purchase will accommodate these activities. I am putting together a new Savage 12FV in a Boyd's thumb-hole laminate stock. I have a Burris MTAC 4.5-14X42 scope mounted on a 20MOA 1 piece rail and Warne rings. Looking forward to getting it out to the range.
