Hello from Puyallup, Wa. BRRRRR cold here this first day of the new year. Happy New Year everyone. I purchased a 12fv from Cabela's. I could not pass on the price. I hope I do get the rebate. From what I have read it is not to hard to get it. I am a retired Teamster from a long career hauling sand, gravel, and other things like dirt. With all the spare time I have I go to the range a lot. Load a lot of ammo and generally have fun with my firearm hobby. One thing I learned was I needed a long range target rifle. What better place to start than with a Savage Varmint Rifle. So with that in mind, here I am to learn from you guys and your experience. Thank you in advance. Greg
