First Savage inbound

I visited this forum a few times as a guest. Not it's time to register. I just bought a Model 12 F-Class in .223. Or shall I say FTR in F-Class flat bottom stock. I should get it in my hands next week, cannot wait for it.

Nice! Show us how it shoots! What glass you putting on it?

[tacos_forever]

I'm sure it will shoot nice. Being 1/7 twist barrel I hope it will like SMK77. I'll be putting on it a Sightron SIII 10-50x60 - should be a couple worthy of each other.

Lucky you. I passes on that exact rifle a few weeks ago. It was a good price, but I was about 50 dollars short and was going to have to go to ATM to get the rest of the money. I didn't and I kicked myself for over a week for passing on the deal. I got so mad at myself that i bought a brand new 110 Varmint in 223 to make up for it.

It really will like 80 smk's with R15

Nice choice! I hope you reload! I say that as once your loads are tuned that .22 caliber you should shoot the pants off most competitors at 100 yards.

Please let me know what you think to the SIII 10X50 Did you get the TD-01 (simple 0.1 dot cross hair) reticle? I ask as it could be my new scope come this fall!

Stupid new WA laws make me wait for it until Friday, just coincidently when I'm leaving in the evening for few weeks... It's a long wait for new toy but at least I'll bring it home before departing.

I was planning on using N140 or Varget. Not sure yet. My daily range is only 300yard, most likely 77SMK will do just fine for that.

That's usually me there. A dollar short, a minute too late ;-) I hope I have lucked this time.

I'm still quite fresh to reloading but there is no doubt this rifle will force me to advance info load development. I had my SIII on a AR "precision build" until now, way overkill for that but should be just at home now. Yes, it's the 25023 with simple duplex reticle which I love and 1/8 moa turrets. Great scopes if you are not ready or don't want to pony up for March or NF.
