Savage 12 FV

[usmc69]

I have a quandary on my hands. I have a friend that literally knows nothing about firearms, but does shoot them well. He has bought a Savage Model 12 FV with a heavy barrel(?) in .223. He is going to buy a Vortex 6.5-20X44 scope for it *has a 30 MM tube). My question is what mounts and rings are you all using? TIA

I have been using EGW picatiny rails on mine along with Leupold low MK 4 rings.

Received my discharge from active duty in the Corps 1969. Semper Fi

You just cant go very far east of Stickmarsh, unless your house floats.
Maybe Sebastian area?

Yep, Grew up in Vero and joined the Corps. There are times when I wonder why we came back. Answer is family lives here.

Shoot three days during the week at the County Range on CR 512. Come by and ask for AJ.

EGW picatinny rails exclusively, and Weaver Quad lock, or six hole tactical rings.

I agree about the price and other stuff. That's why I buy Weaver stuff frequently. When I did have real 'beaters' that I took hunting they frequently wore Tasco stuff, mounts, rings and scopes. Never missed an animal due to them.

The only rilfe I have spent any amount of money on is my 12BVSS. It has a Warne rail and EGW rings.

I've got Vortex precision high rings on mine. No issues with the rings beyond the fact that I should have bought mediums. I have to bring my comb up higher than I want to in order to get behind the scope well. Eh, lesson learned, the rifle I bought the rings and scope for originally I thought I might hit the 50mm bell on. It didn't, but I never replaced the rings.
