My first Savage was a model 12 BVSS and someday I hope to shoot as well as it does. Very beautiful, and very capable in skilled hands.

You can always call Savage customer service and give them your serial number. They can tell you the model and date of mfg.

I put a target accutrigger on mine, bought it from this forum. If you're interested, become a paying member and watch the ads.
