I too am planning on getting a new stock for a Savage 12FV and considering Boyds as one of the options.

But for 12FV, isn't it better to just get the stock for 10 Short Action, blind mag, center feed & bull-barrel rather than getting the stock for a 12 with narrower barrel channel?

I thought Boyds stocks for 10 and 12FV are pretty much identical except the barrel channel?
Can someone with experience/knowledge please confirm this?
