FWIW, because of the good experience that I`ve had with my 110 Storm in .223 (once I worked through some magazine/feeding issues. Must be a right of passage for anyone buying a Savage rifle) and 93R17, I went ahead and purchased a Model 12 LRPV for my first range gun. It`s a well made, accurate shooter IMO. I paid $1,400 for that gun brand new. I wouldn`t pay a penny more than that for a Savage rifle, and I`m pretty sure I wouldn`t have to hunt very hard to find folks who would say I was nuts to pay that for ANY Savage rifle. If I`m going to spend 2K+ for a rifle, there are just too many better options out there.
