Yes, thanks for the link!
With my Axis HB and two 12 FVs, I see I have $250 in rebates pending. A portion of my brain reasoned, "That's enough for another 12 FV!"
here's hoping they go on sale again. i almost bought a 3rd with a couple days left in june, but was sorta burned out. but i've recuperated now!
I sure hope they get them on sale again, i need a 308

I'm safe, all my intents are in long action venue right now, phew
I picked up a 12FV in 308 (thanks to this thread) on 6/27 and shot it today. I'm sure I could spend a lot of money on mods, but my last 4 shots were all touching at 121 yards. It'll work great on Indiana deer. I love this rifle. Thanks for spreading the word about the sale and rebate.
Does anyone have pictures they would like to share of their 12fv with a Boyd's or other aftermarket stock installed?
Actually amazing at what price 🖒

This was originally a 12FV in .22-250. Stock is a B&C Medalist A2. I bedded it in MarineTex as well as opened the barrel channel. The barrel is a new 28" Criterion .260 Rem Match bull contour. We'll see how it does.

How often does Savage offer rebates and Cabellas have a sale? If it happens again I'm going to get one or two of them.
IIRC, Savage usually has a fall and spring rebate program. There should be another coming up in a few months. As for Cabelas, typically around Fathers day they put the model 12 on sale. Picked one up last year in May, and another this year.
This years purchase was a 22-250 model 12FV. Shot some factory rounds to break it in while my reloading dies were on their way, and then once they arrived, loaded some 55 grain V-Max over IMR 4320 in a 3 shot load work up starting with 3200 fps and progressing in 100 fps intervals per Hornaday manual. None of the groups were over a half minute at 100 yds, and the best, right at max of 3600 fps grouped an amazing .053".
Can't beat a Savage for out-of-the-box accuracy!
The stock required some minor fitting. The cutout for the bolt handle was rubbing and wouldn't allow full articulation to close the bolt. I had to use some small files to open it up about .020". Other than that, barrel channel was opened and sanding in the receiver area to clean the transition from fiber glass to the bedding block. This was more for glass bedding than anything else.
Indiana just passed the law this Spring allowing rifles that shoot 6mm bullets and 7.62 bullets, but nothing in between. This opened up a lot of cartridges. The law is set to be reviewed in 2020. There is a bigger story here, but I'll spare you the details. The good news is that the 12FV is going to clock in for work.
This is actually my first and only (for now) centerfire rifle. I got it in .308 from Cabelas in May and have had way too much fun shooting it, but I am still waiting on the rebate to come through. It is odd to me that it seems to like the lighter bullets more. I can get .75-1 inch groups consistently with 155 grain bullets and my cheap Vortex, but things start spreading out as the bullets get heavier. My next steps are to get a bipod, or some kind of better rest than the 4x4 block at the range, and start loading for the gun rather than trying to find the right store bought stuff.
But if they go on sale again I will grab up a .223 ... for my son I mean :p
Mine does better than that with 168 gr area bullets if I can do my end.
I have a front bag and back support
Any guesses when the rebate will roll out? Or if it will at all? Hoping soon if it does, I have $200 in gift cards burning a hole in my pocket lol.
The last couple of years, the model 12's have been in the first half of the year rebate, and the second half of the year had different models.
I got an email saying my two rebates were on the way. I don't remember when I sent them off, but it was fairly late in the promotion.
I received the same email this morning. Mine was sent the second week of may.
I bought one in June. Cabelas had a sale on it for $350, plus $100 rebate from Savage. I also noticed a small scratch on the stock and got an extra 5% off. Total was $250 after tax (pending rebate). Could have gotten another $20 off if I signed up for cabelas card, but decided against it.
I opted for the 223 but they had others available. Can't wait to outfit it with a scope and shoot it.
both my rebate checks came yesterday. ;)
It's hard. I'm not real patient at all actually. LOL. I bought it right before my vacation. And I just got back a week ago. Picked out the scope while I was on vacation, I just have to get it now.
What do you guys think of the following:
EGW 0 MOA Picatiny rail
Burris rings: Signature Zee Rings or XTR??? <---- I have to take measurements, but I think Medium rings to clear the scope.
Primary Arms 4-14 FFP Scope, R-Grid Reticle
My check arrived yesterday and I purchased in late June. Pretty quick. So, I purchased my .223 12FV for a net $275 after rebate, which is fantastic. It has a nice action, pretty bolt, lovely barrel, and really decent stock trigger now adjusted to 1.5 lbs.. Then, it got expensive... I junked the sh!t stock in favor of a B&C Medalist A2. It is at CDI getting fitted for a DBM right now. Of course, there was a base, rings, and a SWFA SS 12X optic. Add on a pair of 10 round magazines. Now, I've got over $1,000 in this animal. I'll post a photo when I get it back. It will be worth it.
Burris has measurements for their rings on their website. If Primary arms has scope specs on the website your all set to determine which rings. Any reason you decided to go with the 20 moa base and z rings?
I liked the fact that Zee rings have the inserts which eliminate the need to lap the rings. As far as the rail I figured might as well just get the 20MOA, just to have it - not because I need it.
Although I just realized that the Zee rings also have the MOA inserts, so I could go with 0MOA rail and just get the inserts.
Could the target trigger from a PTA be installed on this gun?
Haha, no I couldn't resist the temptation to shoot it! It is boringly accurate, despite not being a chambering I tend to shoot.
I know what you mean. Mine is easily the most accurate rifle I've ever seen. That's the problem! Lol I shoot it so much that I can see me burning the barrel out of it in a couple years or less. I have heard of a lot of guys buying them for builds so I figured I would look for a new take-off to keep as a spare. Love this rifle so much that I wish they made it in 243.
A fast twist .243 Winchester or a 6.5 Creedmoor would make it an ideal long range starter rifle. Well, it'd still need a cheek rest, but it would still be a better starter unit than the RPR or Stealth.
Yep. A 26" in this contour, with a 1 in 9.25", in one of the 6 mm flavors would definitely be a "reach out and touch 'em" piece for sure.
Just got my check back from the rebate for my 12FV.
FYI they also honored the $100 rebate on my 10T 6.5 Creedmoor I submitted even though it wasn't specially listed on the rebate.
Nice!
Just got an email notification that my 12FV rebate is on its way! :) Mailed it 1week before the deadline.
That's insane. I called and asked about that rebate and was told it wouldn't qualify. That's the reason why I held off on buying one. It's on sale now and I am basically getting it for $100 off now but still, I would have liked it earlier.Quote:
