Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[423Savage]

I happened in my local Cabela's tonight and asked the girl at customer service if she could check on my 12FV in 6.5. I placed my order on September 7th. My gun was shipped yesterday so I should see it very soon. BTW, can anyone give me the skinny on the rebate please?

Save all your paperwork when you pick up the rifle. You will receive a two-page sheet at Cabela's. The top one will be an invoice showing type rifle, payment information, your name and etc. The second one will be coupon page. They will also give you a cash register receipt, which doesn't have much on it, but it does have the date and the serial number of your rifle. I'm assuming that is important too.

The easiest way is to send it in online. I scanned all the things I mentioned above and sent it to them. (Pictures are OK too.) You also need to scan or take a picture of the Savage UPC bar code on the box. It is most likely (partially) covered by a Cabela's inventory sticker that also has a bar code on it. Some said that their rebate submittal was rejected because the Cabela's sticker was covering the Savage UPC code in their picture. I had a Cabela's inventory sticker on my box too. I was able to peel it off by heating it with a hair dryer and peeling very slowly. Pulling it off without doing that is pretty much futile.

So, in short, send in all your paperwork mentioned above and a picture of the Savage UPC code sticker from the box. I think I was approved in a couple of days after sending in mine online.......by far the easiest way to do it, but you can mail it too.

Just got an e=mail saying I can pick up my rifle. No ship date on this email but the girl at the store Tuesday said her computer said shipped on Monday October 16. The last one of these I bought (in 22-250) came from Ipsy's and it took just a couple days.

Thanks Nic for the info!
