I'll soon be a new owner of a Model 12 F class in 6mm BR and I have a couple of newbie questions.
1) Are the scope mount screws #6 or #8 in the newer actions.
2) Is the barrel a large shank or a small shank?
Thanks,
Jim

The last-several Savage 10s and 12s I've had use #8 screws.
I believe all 12 target rifles are large shank. Can you measure the length of the barrel nut? LS is 5/8"; SS is 7/8".

All target actions are large shank.

Not all model 12’s are large shank.

All the Model 12 Target Actions are Large Shank. If you are referring to the Model 12FV, yes it is a Small Shank. However, the Model 12FV uses a standard 110, Open Port Action. It is not the Closed port style Target Action as is being discussed here.
But technically you are correct Jim. ;)

F-class in 6mmBR=target action=large shank= you need to buy it because you will really enjoy shooting that cartridge!

Thanks for the info guys! I guess I'll wait until the rifle arrives and see what scope mount screws it takes.

I received my Model 12 today. It has a "P" starting the serial number. FYI, the scope mount screws are #6 on my new action.
