Its been about a year and half ago so I don't recall exactly what transpired. I did submit it even though it was obvious to me that the $100 rebate was intended for rifles that cost upwards of $1000. For that reason, I did not contest the fact that they did not honor it.. It does say Model 12 on the website but if you look below it specifically list the various model 12's that it was intended for and the 12FV was not one of them. I heard people say that they have gotten it so definitely give it a try, just be aware that you may not get it..
