My son shoots his Savage 12 BVSS .223 in F Class matches

Even with the factory tube, I’ve never seen a BVSS which didn’t shoot. My wife and I got them in 223 and 22-250 respectively ~10 years ago - I ended up selling mine then buying another in 223. Hers - especially in her hands - is the more accurate of the two, but both have been stellar.
