So, I recently found a used Model 12 F/TR (308) and have been thinking of buying it. I just am not that familiar with Model 12's. It looks to be in really good condition though, and I have bought used Savage rifles before with great success.
Is anyone here familiar with this model, that would be willing to share some information? Just anything to look for, or that may be different from other models. I did notice that this barrel has a threaded brake on it, and I didn't think these had a brake since it was basically a factoryF-class gun. Maybe early models were made with a brake??? Like I said, I'm not familiar with this model at all. As far as I know it is the factory barrel...maybe the owner just had it threaded and a brake made for it?

I spoke with a few guys at the shop, and none of the ones I spoke with took it in used, and didn't know anything other than they've had it a very short time.

Thanks in advance fellas!
