I just joined the forum a day or so ago because I just got my first Savage today. It is a 12 VLP .223 with 9 inch twist.
I am an old guy and have owned many firearms but never a Savage. I ordered this one because I want accuracy from a bench for 100 to 300 yards and my last efforts with other brands were disappointing. I thought Savages were not known for looks but their reputation for accuracy is strong so I ordered one. Well, this particular rifle is nothing less than beautiful.
I don't know yet if it is accurate but I get to go to the range tomorrow and, if it is not too crowded, I will find out then. I do have a question though. The LGS guy said he was surprised that the barrel was not crowned. It is recessed and I thought that was one type of crowning. Is that normal for the 12 VLP?
