Description
Savage 12 FV Bolt-Action Rifle
The Savage® 12 FV Bolt-Action Rifle is specifically designed to deliver precise shot placement at long range. The 12 FV comes with a synthetic stock, featuring dual pillars for a solid bedding platform. The heavy-contour barrel is free-floated for optimum accuracy potential. Savage's AccuTrigger® is user adjustable to obtain a light, crisp release with no creep; a lever mounted within the trigger body blocks the sear unless the trigger is intentionally pressed in the center. The basic bolt design assures that the locking lugs fully contact the receiver, holding the headspace to a minimum every time the bolt is locked. The tight headspace contributes to the excellent accuracy Savage rifles are known for. The bolt operates with a push-feed design, utilizing a sliding-plate extractor and a spring-loaded plunger-type ejector. A 3-position receiver tang safety is easy to reach with the shooter's thumb, and allows the rifle to be loaded and unloaded in the safe position. A blind magazine stores ammo securely. The Savage 12 FV Bolt-Action Rifle comes drilled and tapped for scope bases. Made in USA.

6.5CM .228 grouping - H435 Hornady 140 BTHPExperimenting I have a number of 6.5 CM bullets to hand load test with. Started with the Hornady 140 BTHP using Star line (same exact weights) small primer brass as well as small primer cci’s. A Satterlee load test was conducted with 11 different loads + .2 increments between each.
Visiting Hornady’s 11th edition manual I started low on my grains and elevated above recommended grain capacity.
** DO NOT SUGGEST EXCEEDING **.
No significant compression signs were seen on primers but noticeable recoiled experienced. Last two shots on paper clearly identified over pressure.
Clearly a shooter and plan to test hornady 140 eldx, 142, 147, Berger 140 and new 144 hybrid target bullets

Don’t cry if you buy onlineOn paper in no time. put a decent scope on it and it’ll shoot 1” at 100 yards. Every gun is different, can’t expect 2 to shoot the same. Buy in store and inspect it before paying and you won’t have any problems. Love this rifle!!!

Savage 12 FV 308 out of the box EXCELLENTBought the Savage 12 FV 308 about 2 weeks ago, great price, nice sales people. I have put 75 + rounds through it. Only break-in was the first cleaning. Added a 6 -18 Bushnell scope. I have not shot a group over 1 inch bench rest at 100 yds. with any load, factory or handloads. Trigger is great and adjustable, stock fit is good, and quite comfortable but, yes, it is plastic. I put it against my 30 year old 700 BDL heavy barrel and it shoots better and less recoil. I have Kimbers, Winchesters, Rugers, and others, so far this is one of the most accurate and least fussy rifles I've had. Thinking about a 6.5 creed.

Mehh!Granted this is a really good price point and may have even had a rebate, so certainly an entry level unit. I just cant get it to shoot consistently. With handloads on a lead sled just cant get it to shoot well. Nothing ever at 1moa, generally quite a bit higher. At that price it is fine, but just not what I have come to expect from Savage. Several misfires on first time to range, like the firing pin was not extending far enough, but worked fine several times since.

6.5 creedmoor tight groupsI purchase 1 year ago for $319.99, I have 5 Weatherbys and 15 other rifles, none can hold a constant 5 shot group like this 12 fv, the average groups (.625") are using Hornady147 eld match, but the Hornady 143 eldx precision hunter is getting under 1" groups. the gun is very heavy, you would not want to carry it up and down mountains all day, but if you hunt out of a blind and have 300 - 400 yard shots, its the ticket for the money.

the 6.5 is crazyi bought this gun during the bass pro 5 day sale and it was on sale for a great price. i was worried about the price point and that it would be a pice of garbage but man i was wrong. i topped it with a leupold VX-freedom CDS and it is a beast. at 300 yards i was shooting a 1 inch group. i have since shot 6 coyotes all beyond 300 yards and this gun preforms amazing. the only thing that i could find that i didn't like was the stock, it is hollow and with the barrel being somewhat heavy it makes it feel a little weird but its wasn't anything that swung my opinion on buying it. if you are just getting into shooting at longer distances or just looking for 6.5 creedmoor that isn't going to break the bank this is a fantastic gun for its price.

Second oneRecently got one in .308. Accurate as my .204. Stock is a little flexible but they are accurate. Both photos of targets at 100 yards.

Damaged rifle receivedUpon opening the box, it was quite clear the rifle had been fired, not just test fired, but fired numerous times and had a damaged bore approximately 1 inch from the muzzle at the 12 o'clock position. The bolt for the rifle was not properly packaged in its plastic sleeve, but sitting loosely in the box. The bolt face had significant carbon marks from burned powder from what could likely be a burst primer. There is also notable wear marks on the bolt locking lugs and powder marks at the muzzle. The box the rifle arrived in had 2 "Safety Checked" seals. The first seal had been broken and a second seal taped over top. The first seal appears to be dated April 15 2018. The second seal is dated February 6 2019.
This firearm could best be described as 'DAMAGED/USED' and needs to be replaced with a new, never opened box with only one "Safety Checked" sticker. Should never have been shipped.
Thank you for your question. The .22-250 has a twist rate of 1:12.

Does the .223 rifle chambered for both .223 and 5.56, or only .223? I ask because the 5.56 has a higher cup pressure. Also, what is the advantage of 5r rifling?
Asked by: Squirrel shooter
You can use .223 in a rifle chambered for 5.56 but you should not use 5.56 in a .223. Thank you for your question.

How many shots can you make without heating the barrel with a .308
Asked by: Tecuany
Per the Manufacturer -
"We really don’t test to see when a barrel heats up but can tell you that from personal experience you are looking at 15-20rounds fired quickly before the barrel gets warm. If you are at the range and shooting with time between each shot it will likely stay warm and not scolding hot. "
