Getting 12 F-Class today - What should I check?

[1.618]

Hey, guys,

I'm finally taking receipt of a Savage 12 F Class today after a LONG wait.

My question is, when I go to do the transfer at my local FFL, what things should I check on this gun to make sure it's not "used labeled as new" or "this one shot lousy so we put it back on the shelf for another sucker to buy" or maybe an older model that they're trying to pass off as a newer model or whatever?

I'm not new to guns or shooting, but I AM new to target guns in general and Savage target rifles in particular, so any help or suggestions you might have would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
