Unknown part in new Savage 12FV box...

[Tko22]

Hello all!

New poster here, but been shooting and competing for over 45 years.

Bought a new Savage 12FV in .204 from Cabelas today, and loose in one of the box compartments was an unknown part (to me anyway..)

ill try try to post a pic of it...



Anyone know what it might be?

Thanks for any help.

Looks like the rear baffel

Yes... it was indistinct in the parts diagram.

Fitted fine and will have a go with this rifle tomorrow.

Thanks!

P.S. Bought the rifle for $419, with a $100 rebate... $319 plus some sales tax out the door.

So that's why Cabela's is selling them so cheap, there's "Some assembly required." LOL

Mounted a cheap 10X scope, scrubbed the barrel with a brush, bore sighted it, then patched it a few times and shot a few groups this morning.

Once dialed in on paper, this was the 2nd group. 5-Shots, 100 yards, no wind. Factory Fiocchi 32 Gr. V-Max.

Not too bad for a $319 rifle and .60 cent factory loads.

Not crazy about the accutrigger blade gizmo. I removed it from my A17, and I think I'll do the same on this one.




I'd like to find a wood (not laminate) bench style stock for it. Any suggestions?

I have a Rock River AR in .204 that shoots about as good ... but was also 5 times the price.
