It was on sale for $369 with a $100 mail in rebate for a total of $269. I had $105 in gift cards from a recent birthday which knocked my price down to $164. In addition, there were places where it was advertised for $319 so I chatted with the Cabela's rep and he gave me a $50 gift card.

So out of pocket, I'll have paid $114 for a Savage 12 FV in 308 with a 26" varmint barrel! Still waiting for it to show up at my local store.

They're still on sale for $369 with the rebate too.

Damn, I wish i would have seen this, great deal.

$319 after rebate.

Why didn't you told us about this on black friday?

I picked it up yesterday. Not a bad rifle. I threw in my 110 long action/22" 308 heavy barrel/McMillan HTG in for comparison.









I've already talked to my machinist and I'm going to have the barrel chopped 4" down to 22" and threaded for a flash suppressor (to protect the crown when out in the field in case of a spill).

I want a better stock but I'm on the fence on what to get. This factory stock is just awful but I can't complain for the price. IMHO, if the rifle was missing the stock, it would still be a great deal. I'll eventually convert it to take detachable box magazines.

It will be interesting to see how it shoots with the current stock. I hear they still shoot good. It has metal pillars underneath that molded plastic.

What calibers did you all go with?

In my opinion, you cannot beat the accuracy out of the box for the money with a Savage. I’m not a fan of the accustock, but they work well. They are a little flimsy. I usually change them out and start reloading!!

I jumped on the 10T-SR. Backordered currently in 6.5 Creedmoor. Will switch out the stock with a MDT chassie when I get it. Not a fan of the Accustock.
