I might have to start saying good things about Cabela's prices. Well, maybe just their on sale stuff that really is on sale. They've got a $400 AR currently on sale...(veterans get 5% off)

I bought a savage 10TSR a couple of weeks ago from cabelas it was also on sale. I am still working on load development but haven't had a 5 shot group greater than .9 and virtually all are .4-.7". Ive used everything from 40gr up to 69gr. Settling in on 69gr and 53gr Sierra. Remarkably good shooter for $525. I would expect the same or better from the 12FV since the barrel is abit heavier I believe
It is not an Accu-Stock, but the factory stock isn't horrible. At least the barrel was free floated on the .308 I bought for my son a year ago. If you can get the rebate from Savage, it is an unbelievable deal, and then use it to score a Boyd's laminated stock, that would be an incredible package for the price. Awfully tempting to order one in 6.5 Creedmore.
I jumped all over this and am waiting on the call that it has arrived. My local store was out of the 12FV in all chamberings. Not that, that was a surprise considering the price.
So, I ordered one in .308.
I happened to be in another store last May and I got whatever they call the one with the threaded barrel, detachable mag, 20 MOA rail, Accutrigger, Accustock ...........in 6.5 Creedmoor.
I went in there to LOOK at chassis rifles in 6.5 Creed, but when I saw the Accustock rifle on sale for $499, I bought one immediately. Have taken it out to 1200 yards several times and at 1000 quite a few times and it seems to shoot great. So based on this experience, when I saw the 12FVs on sale for $319 I instantly checked availability and ended up ordering one.
.308 isn't the best tool for long range shooting, but I own one .308 rifle that is a great shooter; problem is that I just don't like the rifle itself (Armalite AR30). I enjoy shooting .308 and liked to take two rifles to the range so when one barrel is cooling, I can keep shooting. I told myself that I was going to buy another .308 when the right oppotunity presented itself but it was just kind of a vague thought until I saw this deal.
