Great rifle for the money

Purchased the 12FV in 308 about a year ago. I love Savage rifles, great accuracy right out of the box, but the stock needs to be replaced. Did so with a laminated stock and added a Cabela's Covenant FFP scope. Love the MOA reticle with this rifle. I shoot

Great deal for the price

Savage 12FV .204.I bought this rifle to play with at the range and maybe Coyote hunt some. Outstanding accuracy out of the box. I was just using the factory 32grn Fiocchi ammo to start with. Was only using a cheap rest, and was getting what I feel are gre

Great gun for the money!

Alright. i have had this rifle for awhile now. I believe a review should be written after a person has had time to really use the product.My rifle is chambered in 6.5 CM.Pros: heavy barrel, Acutrigger, price. AccurateCons: The stock, the center feed magaz

great bang for your buck

I purchased this rifle in 6.5 creedmoor. I added a vortex crossfire II scope and have only fired factory ammunition through it. It does not disappoint. My groups are constantly 1 MOA. The stock isn't the greatest, but for the price, you aren't going to fi

Dead on 6.5CM

This rifle is accurate! I used factory Hornady Whitetail ammo. It is nothing special just a great rifle for the $$! I do recommend a two piece scope base. I purchased the pictanny style one piece base and found out real quick your thumb will get scraped l

Savage 12 FV 6.5 Creedmoor

This is a fantastic shooting gun. Clover leaf holes at 100 yards.Handloads can be much smaller mine is liking RL16 41.9 g with the hornady 147 ELD-M . This is my second Savage 6.5 both are top notch in accuracy dept. For the trigger problem I found a smal

Great accuracy

Bought this rifle in 22-250 and it is very accurate, sub MOA with all 3 factory ammos I tried. It shoots Hornady 55gr #8337 well one hole groups at 100 yards. Will have to try another caliber somewhere down the road.

.223

Very nice shooting gun! Trigger pull was good when I got it and didn't mess with it. Low recoil with a heavy barrel. Put a nice scope on it and use it for coon and coyotes.

I have 2 of these

I bot a 6.5 and a 308 and both are tack drivers. I spend a lot of time on load developement and it pays off. These will put bullets in the same hole at 100 yards all day. The 308 is also super fun supressed and subsonic. I had both barrels threaded and ch

12FV-OMG!

I purchased my 12FV 223 at the Scarborough store this Wednesday. I put a cheap box store 4-12x40 scope I had laying around on it today. Shooting factory 55 gr FMJBT at 200 yds, the groups holes were touching! Outstanding purchase and the sales team rocks!

Accutrigger Problems after 40 rounds

I was very excited about the rifle. Put 40 rounds through it and the accutrigger started jamming. I never adjusted the trigger from the factory settings. I cleaned the rifle and tighten up the accutrigger with the tool included following the owners manual

I got two

I first purchased a 12FV in .223 on a whim - primarily for a cheap target gun. It turned out to be a fantastic shooter. Sub 0.75 MOA with just about everything I feed it. Sub 0.5 with handloads. I wanted to start shooting F-Class and got another one in 6.

disappointed

I bought this rifle in 223. First inspection of the rifle I was thrilled with it. At the range I found it will shoot 1/2 moa with a wide range of loads which made me feel as if I got a real steal. But it wasn't long, first time on the range, that I starte

Love - Hate

I like the bull barrel, love the price and rebate.Mine is a royal pain in the behind to load.I am not a fan of rifles with magazines as a rule, lots of things can go wrong. lose a mag, not inserted properly etc.This is the worst rifle to load that I own.L

6.5 Creedmoor

Interesting rifle. The 12FV in 6.5 Creedmoor is not a standard item for Savage so I'm guessing this is a special for Cabela's. Was surprised that it has a notched barrel nut. Savage used them up until about 5 years ago when they converted to smooth barrel

Almost

The gun is very accurate. I was able to get 1 hole groups with the gun once I got it loaded. The trigger is excellent. One reason I bought the gun was all the good things I had heard/read about the Savage trigger. The finish on the stock was uneven and th

Great gun

Very happy with this gun so far. I got it on sale and it shoots great..

Amazing Price and rebates

This has amazing Price and rebates were outstanding. I was able to get a free shirt and coaster. Also able to get 100$ mail in rebate. This is a very sought after gun. Great deal and amazing deal.

Had a problem but Cabelas/Savage made it right

I ordered my 12 FV in 6.5 Creedmoor while they were on sale and had a rebate, so for $269 got a pretty good heavy barrel range toy. They didn't have a creedmoor in stock so had to order it. After it came in and I got it home I found a problem the first ti

Buy This Rifle

I am very impressed with Savage's Accutrigger. It is extremely smooth with a crisp break. The rifle is front heavy due to the heavy barrel so it will take a bit of carrying and shooting to get used to it. This is a really accurate rifle. I put a 4x12 Niko

Ringing Steel at 1000 yards 6,5 Creedmoor

This gun is amazing, it's accurate and affordable. In less than a week I'm ringing steel at 1000 yards. It really likes the Hornady 140 ELD and 147 ELD Match ammo. Set scopes ele MOA around 28.5 and ring the steel. Handloads with 41g of H4350 and Hornady

Deadly Accurate

Must be the scope mounting taps offset alittle.... Had an issue after mounting scope, had scope cranked whole way out against.. only had 1.5" to bull's eye, got it solved by shimming scope brackets.... now a blast to shoot this 204 at 100 yards and o

.204 Ruger

So I was a little skeptical about purchasing the gun, cause we have all heard the phrase “If its cheap it’s probably junk”. I couldn’t have been more WRONG! It shoots absolutely amazing! I have ran about 40 rounds through it and after about 15 rounds it w

6,7,8

The 6,7,8 shots from this gun went into a .3 group measuring outside hole to outside hole. Shot another sub half inch group 2 days later. This rifle is amazing. It's a .22-250 rem.

be aware

model 12 in 6,5 cm have a scored and rusted bolt face. This gun looks to shoot ok and looks to be safe but I think is was made from old parts, and was not advertised as such!

Unbelievable accuracy out of the box

Bought this rifle today. Bought a scope and installed it today. Using an LED boresighter in my basement, determined we were good to go. Shot 5 rounds with store-bought .223 55 gr Fiocchi ammo. Then proceeded to shoot 6 sub MOA groups at 100 yards ranging

Excellent Rifle, 22-250

I bought this rifle knowing ahead of time that I was not going to be carrying it around all day in the field, it's pretty heavy. That being said, I am consistently shooting close to 1" groups at 200 yards. I have been nothing but pleased with this ri

Savage 12FV

Picked up the Savage 12FV after doing a ton of research on varmint rifles. This thing is not for carrying all day, but put a bipod on it and shoot from a table or platform and it really shines. I think it is around 11.5 pounds with scope, so there is no r

Great Gun Great Value

I bought the Savage 12FV on sale with a rebate, so pretty cheap in my book. It will consistently do sub-moa with Winchester White Box 45gr 22-250. Shot many 3/4" groups. Shoots well with American Eagle Bulk 22-250 and anything Hornady. Wish it had an

Fantastic shooter

, ok, lets be clear here, if you are buying this rifle to keep the cheap plastic stock mounted on it, you may be disappointed with the performance. However, those in the "know" buys these to built a precision shooter. I mounted this barreled act

Great Rifle

I bought this rifle in 223 and it’s awesome. The first 10-15 rounds were all over the place, but after that it is a half MOA rifle. Best groups were with Nosler 60gr ammo.

great rifle

i bought this rifle in a 223 earlier this year. i was so satisfied with it , that i bought the exact same rifle except in a 6.5 creedmoore . i have not gotten a chance to shoot the 6.5 yet, but if it shoots as good as the 223 i will be very happy. great r

Purchased in 6.5 Creedmoor

Outstanding value with excellent accuracy right out of the box.Would recommend for anyone wanting a precision rifle at a reasonable cost to use as is or for a custom build.

Good quality

Accu trigger makes this a great gun

Real tack driver

Buy one, you’ll be glad you did!

12FV in .223

The fit and finish of this rifle is very good stock is better than a Axis. Bolt cycling is very smooth, also has large bolt knob. Mounting scope bases showed the drilled holes in reciver are true. As soon as weather breaks we will see how well it groups.

savage 12, 6.5CM

Have not put optics on it or shot but so far my expectations have been exceeded. The stock is not an accustock but it is not going to keep you from shooting sub MOA either. bolt, trigger, ect all are fine. I ordered online and picked up in store, everythi

awsome rifles

have 3 of these rifles now. 22-250 6.5 creedmor and 308 all three are tack drivers. Best rifles I know of for the money.

Great Rifle for the price

Recently bought the 12 VF chambered in .223 as a Christmas gift for my son after he did a lot of research. Charlie at the Berlin store spent a good amount of time talking to him before we made the decision to by this on line. Getting the 100 dollar rebate

New 12 FV 6.5 Creedmoor

I got one of these during the Black Friday Sale and I'm very impressed with the quality and accuracy of this rifle. Fit and finish are excellent for a rifle in this price range. My local store (260 miles away) was sold out of these but it was backorderabl

Coulld not be Happier

I bought this in 6.5 Creedmore, added a 4 x 12 scope and purchased 2 boxes of factory ammunition. I bore sighted the rifle at the range and was on the paper on the first shot. I made my first adjustment and was 1" left of the bulls eye. After adjusti

Good Middle Road Gun

For the price its a great gun, has the nice accutrigger and i really like where Savage puts their safety within very easy access of your thumb. Not the sharpest feeling or looking gun, but the price is Great for a solid all around gun!

Savage 12FV in .308

Pretty close to perfect, from a tinkerers point of view. If you plan on taking it out and shooting it as is, make sure the mounting bolts are torqued properly. Accutrigger is so easy to adjust that it seems like cheating. The barrel is free floated from t

Precision rifle

Just picked up my third one of these. Have a 223, 22-250, and now 308. Barrels are a little rough on the inside at first and require some break in to settle down. With a bit of shooting and standard cleaning they all shoot sub MOA with handloads. The 223

Nothing but love!!

I have had it but a short time writing this review. I bought my 12fv in 6.5 creedmoor as a starter rifle for long range precision shooting. Being a bone stock rifle but verry usable and upgradable. Could not have went wrong. Just out of the box no modific

Savage 12FV 6.5 Creedmore

I’m very happy with my Savage 12FV in 6.5 Creedmore. Excellent out of the box rifle for the money.

Savage model 12

Don’t know how gun will turn out but this is a 6.5 creedmoor and I have only shot gun 8 times . Number 6,7,and 8 were a 1/2 “ group with 140 gr. Factory ammo

Model 12 FV

This is my second model 12 FV. The first one was a.22-250 and this one is in a 6.5 Creedmore. Both rifles are exceptional shooters. The 6.5 printed a .33 five shot group in the first fifty rounds down the tube with handloads seated 10 thousands off of the

What a bargain

Bought the 9-twist .223 expecting to immediately throw away the stock and factory barrel. The stock was a little close to the barrel right at the top of the forend, but ten minutes and a Dremel took care of that. Did a very minor barrel break-in with a bo

Very Impressed with the rifle

Very good quality and impressive accuracy, especially for the price. I picked up one in 6.5 creedmoor and look to pick up a few in other calibers.

6.5

Great buy!!!Look Forward to seeing how the rifle performs.

You can't go wrong for the money

I now have 3 of these. 223, 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Every one of them is a tack driver. For out of the box accuracy they are second to none at an economical price. The only thing to mention is they are heavy. That doesn't bother me. I just don't lug them a

Nice but....

Nice rifle but the stock is the worst and I do mean bad! It's a budget package but dang!

First shell wont eject

Bought a 12FV 6.5 Creedmoor, went out to sight it in, first shot the shell wouldn't eject. Finally worked it out and there was a big scratch on the brass left by a burr in the chamber. Sent a request to savage service, still haven't heard back. Took it to

Good...but

I purchased a 22/250 Savage FV from Cabelas last Spring. Everything worked fine and it was accurate. So, decided to buy a 204 recently. The issues:1. Front scope mounting screw was messed up. Had to run a bottoming tap into the hole to make it work 2. Wil

model 12 22-250

great rifle for price have not shot it yet

The rumors are true!

I shot 3 different loads in this heavy barreled 308 and all groups were within an inch at 100 yards and 200 yards. I tried 150 gr SST's, 125 gr SST's and 125 gr Ballistic tips and it liked all of them. The trigger is set lighter than I expected it to be b

Barrel touchung stock

First rifle that I didn't accept, barrel touching stock said cant accept, needed to reorder maybe next one will be right

Great Rifle

This rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor has been fantastic so far. I have only shot about 15 rounds so far but its already shooting one inch groups and I expect it will get much better. Opening morning of my deer hunt I took a nice little buck at just over 300 yards

Savage accuracy hard to beat!

So far I'm loving the rifle. This is the first time i have ever actually decided to go through with the factory barrel break in steps and still haven't completed the process yet but so far it shoots great as expected from a Savage and i love the 6.5 Creed

Great rifle

For the price (definitely so when on sale), you can't beat this varmint rifle for the price for performance. Sure the injection molded stock sucks, but a quality replacement stock can be had for low to moderate prices. I have the 22-250 Rem and this gun i

Hunter's Special

I sighted in the rifle and was impressed with the accuracy. I plan to field test the 6.5mm Creedmoor during the upcoming gun season. #TeamCabelas

6.5 Creedmoor

Bought one for my daughter, used Barnes 127 grain LRX factory loads. 3 shot groups at 100 yards between .250 and .500. Groups at 400 yards were 2.5 inches. She took a bison and an antelope. Best affordable, most accurate guns for the money. Also prefer th

Does what everyone says

After reading many reviews, and doing tons of research, I decided to buy one in .223. Bought on sale with rebate yet to boot. Had never owned a target/varmint rifle before so had no expectations or any comparison. With that being said, I topped it with a

Amazing Gun

I have one in .204 Ruger and just purchased another one in 6.5 CM. These are great rifles. They have great barrels which are very accurate. I love the bull barrel and although it makes the rifle extremely heavy I wouldn't want it any other way. The .204 s

Most accurate rifles I own.

I own three of these rifles. One in .204, one in 22-250 and one in 308. They all make nice neat little clover leafs without much effort. Hardly any recoil from the smaller calibers. very light from the 308. If it weren't for the heavy barrels, I would car

Accurate Savage 12FV 223 1:9 Twist

Best value of an accuracy rifle that you can buy, though the stock and magazine are cheap and can be better made! My 223 with 1:9 twist is very accurate. I would like more if the rifle comes with 1:8 twist that I can shoot heavier bullet.

Accuracy, Value, and a Great Rifle to Build Upon

Amazing rifle and astounding value for the money. Picked up one in .223 during the last sale and put the action in a Bell & Carlson stock. Shoots 69 grain Sierra MatchKing box ammo into 1/2 MOA if I do my part.

Try one for yourself,,,

Here it is, proof that price has nothing to do with accuracy! This black, heavy 223 rifle shoots 1/2" groups at 100 yards with four shots. You must drop in bullets one by one. The stock is basic. The trigger is amazing. Plus there is no recoil-to you

Great out of the box - better with hand loads

Inexpensive with a record of being a great shooter. Agree on both points. Bought in 308 to learn reloading and had a lot of issues to start with that were actually due to my inexperience reloading. Got the reloading things squared away for the most part a

Total Junk

My first and last Savage. Cheaply built, the stock and magazine are terrible, just junk. Worst rifle I've ever owned, period. I have shotguns that group better.The trigger and action might could be used for a project gun. But, you'll need a new barrel, st

Very Nice Gun - Shoots Above its Price

As stated above - very nice gun in 22-250, shoots above its price. I will state that some work did need to be done to the gun - but this is NORMAL in my opinion.

Incredible rifle @ an incredible price!

I have started shooting competitively. I am not extremely wealthy, nor do I have the money to go out and buy Defiance actions for every application I need. That said, I buy these Savage 12FV'sas a base rifle for my builds. I have now bought four of them,

Savage 12 FV

Savage 12FV 22-250. True Savage quality. Less than 1/4 MOA @ 100 yds. Fitted with Choate Sniper stock and Nikon 4.5-18x40 scope.

Great gun for the money

Tack driver, use it for long range shooting, great bolt even better trigger,

Savage 12 FV 22-250

Took this gun out to the range and was pleasantly surprised at how well it shoots. Had best luck with 52 and 53 grain bullets with recommended loads of powder. Could hide 3 shot groups with a dime at 100 yard distance. Turned a snoose can lid around backw

Very Accurate

Bought this in a .204 Ruger and I'm very pleased with the accuracy. Put a 4x16x44 Vortex Viper HS on it and just about put three shots inside each other at 100 yards. Just ordered a custom turret for the scope and it'll be a coyote's worst nightmare! Woul

Savage 12 FV

I have been around rifles for a very long time and have built custom rifles in many calibers that went over $2500. I was at cabelas the other day and saw this savage model 12 fv in 308 for sale, I needed this gun like a needed a hole in my head and brough

Great rifle in 308

This rifle has everything you need to become a great shooter. 308 gives you long range power and good barrel life. Has the heavy bolt Handle to control the action better. Heavy 26" Varminting barrel is great for long shots. 8.5 pounds before scope ma

FV 223

This is a great buy and shoots great with the correct load.I did change the stock and had bottom metal installed.I am shooting 69gr Sierra match kings and hitting 10" gong at 650yds with ease. Sub moa. It is hard to find a 223 rifle with a barrel wit

204 Ruger

Great shooting rifle. Would shoot better if I had a solid rest. 10 shots, Sierra 39 grain Blitz Kings, 25 grains of Benchmark powder. The other target is 24 grains of powder. Photos are upside down.

savage 308

bought one in December . 4 holes touching at 100 yds using Sierra 150 grain BTSP Alliant RL15 powder. Hard to be this gun value wise.

savage 12 Fv

Very nice rifle-

absolutly amazing

I bought one of these in .204 ruger and was so impressed I bought another one in .223. Never had a chance to really test on long distance till this weekend. I have several pennies and dimes with multiple holes in them from 100 yards. Absolutely amazing ac

Savage 12FV

A tack driver at a good price.

12FV in .22-250

I missed out on a a rebate offered and the sale that is going on at the moment which is annoying however this gun is well worth the asking price. Stock is as described above. I mounted a Burris Eliminator 3 and together matched with the accuracy, this is

Another Hit for Savage

Excellent rifle, so very accurate. Shooting 3/8" groups at 100 yds using 69gr match bullets. Bought this as a varmint rifle. Coyotes beware!!! Dropping 4" groups at 500yds and hitting with enough power to drop them in their tracks. Cabela's as a

best there is

used cheap 308 ammo , cloverleaf groups all day even with dirty barrel .wow i will be getting one of these in 223 cal

Accurate cheap gun!

I have the 22-250 version. It is super accurate! I was using factory ammo and the gun is a sub moa gun for sure. Able to hit targets the size of a dime at 100 yards.

Awesome .308

I purchased the model 12 FV in the .308 win. The best purchase I made for the money. It truly is a tack driver and shoots as well as my Savage heavy barrel 7mm rmg build. You can't go wrong and I can't wait to take it to the woods in the fall!

Amazing Amazing

This rifle is the most accurate gun I have ever seen. I was putting bullet holes in bullet holes at 100 yards. All I can say is wow. I will NEVER sell this gun EVER!

Impressive Shooter!

After years of building my own rifles I splurged and bought a Model 12FV in .223 from Cabella's while Savage was offering a rebate. To be honest I wasn't expecting much for the money I paid. While I was in the store I picked up a box of Australian Outback

Great Gun(s) for the Money!

I picked up the .223 and the .308 in the Model 12FV during the last Fathers Day sale. Both guns are very comfortable to shoot and quite accurate. While shooting with friends this past week I was able to consistently hit a 16" x 16" steel target

Great accuracy for the price

This rifle is a good value for the accuracy it provides. I only gave it 4 stars because i may end up sending it back to savage. I have the .223 caliber, and if you search on the internet, its not hard to find that this caliber has primer piercing and ligh

12 FV 223 CALIBER

ACCURACY OUT TO 100 YARDS FANTASTIC. CAN'T WAIT TO SHOOT IT OUT 200 YARDS AND FURTHER.

Best .308 for the money!

Great rifle with a heavy barrel. Stock feels solid. The redfield savage 110 scope mounts work perfectly. There is no detachable magazine but the accuracy makes up for that.

Tack Driver

I bought this rifle in .204 Ruger for the purpose of predator hunting. Where I hunt I have to use a this smaller caliber during deer season. I am not disappointed. Right out of the box with just a basic 3x9x40 I put 4 rounds in a dime at 100 yards. I didn

unbelievable accuracy!!

I am 63 years old, have been shooting rifles since I was 10 years old. I have never had a factory rifle shoot as accurate as this gun. I mounted a Burris 4.5-14 scope, bore sighted, sighted in 3 shots at 25 yds, moved to 100 yds, adjusted POI with 3 shots

great rifle !!!!

Bought this rifle a few weeks ago, could not beat the price. I figured it was a cheaper version of the model 12 and would shoot o k.. This rifle is GREAT, sub minute of angle groups every time..

Managed a 2.125" grouping of 10 shots at 200 yards during break-in using 68gr. hp, so I'm very optimistic this will turn into a good rifle for bench shooting. Loading the blind box is somewhat cumbersome, but I'm hand feeding it and was going to modify it

Excellent rifle in every way, my go to rifle for most hunting.
