After thinking, reading tests, asking gunowners, and posting inquiries on every forum I belong to. I opted for the Savage over the Weatherby, Remington, and Ruger. Money was a consideration, but not the biggest. I wanted my first 308 Varmint Class Rifle to be accurate and also sport a quality scope. On receiving the rifle from my FFL dealer and doing an initial cleaning I was very disappointed with the amount of surface rust removed but the biggest disappointment was the poor condition of the crown on the muzzle. It would snag patch after patch during cleaning to the point that I took it to my gunsmith/dealer and he agreed the muzzle was very poor and without charge to me re-crowned it and floated the receiver.
Due to an accident I have not been able to test the gun but expect it to be a real shooter after this work. Has anyone else had this same experience with their Savage Model 12 rifles?
