I can't figure out why they call the 12 FV a 12? Is it cerakoted?
Mine is not, just blued. I assumed the "V" was because it is their heavy barrel "varmint" gun in its description, but I have no idea. As to 12, I thought it was like the 112, but short action. You know way more than I about these things!I can't figure out why they call the 12 FV a 12? Is it cerakoted?
He is running a Bushnell Elite 6500 Tactical 6-24x50 in Warne 30mm rings. As for loading the blind magazine, we just press the round down into the magazine and then back to the rear stop, repeat. That is one of the advantages of my 10T in that it came with a detachable 4 round magazine, and I later picked up a 10 round Savage factory magazine for it. It also came in an Accu-Stock with full length aluminum bedding block. I managed to snag mine from Cabela's for an after rebate sale price of $425. I also like the 5R rifled 24" barrel of the 10T. Although the 26" standard rifled barrel of the 12FV does provide a slight boost in velocity.Here its a rebate. Glad to hear you like the .308, i am considering one of those as well. Agreed this is s fantastic price. They, and others have nicer versions, Whittaker had a really good deal on a super nice stainless Tikka, but I can get two of the 12FV rifles for that price.
This is my first bolt gun, what scope and mount did you use?
One other question, a silly one but how is this gun loaded? Obviously it is the top load version so I assume you just force them past the lips into the mag? The instructions did not
Actually describe the process and I didnt want to deform the lips of the magazine.

I will be on the lookout for one in .308 or 6.5 CM. The 12 FV is on sale (rebate) for a while.He is running a Bushnell Elite 6500 Tactical 6-24x50 in Warne 30mm rings.
