Used Savage Model 12 F/TR

Previous owner may have had the barrel threaded for a brake, a common practice.

If I had been a little smarter when I was shopping I would have an F-TR or F-class instead of the 12BVSS. I'd love to have the heavier target action instead of the varmint one. I do believe the owner had the barrel threaded and compensator added. If it is a good one it will reduce recoil just a bit more, which would be a positive thing. The 1-12 twist and long barrel means it can push 155gn bullets, like the Bergers or Lapuas, out to 1000yd easily, as well as still being able to handle the 175's.

FWIW, it would also make a really nice cast bullet rifle for 600yd targets. :)
