New from Savage

I have been working on our Savage order for the upcoming year and thought I might as well fill you guys in on some new stuff from Savage.

They will offer both their 12 Long Range Precision Varminter and the 12 Varminter Low Profile in a 223 Rem 1-7" twist and a 22-250 1-9" twist. While they would have been better off making a 1-8" 243 at least they are trying!!!

They are also offering a couple of 30" bbl guns designed for f-class competition. One in 308 (??) and another in 6.5-284. Again, I'll say they would have been better off offering a 1-8" twist 6mm of some sort over the 308 but at least they are trying!!

They are also going to offer they target actions complete w/accutrigger. These are single shot actions like is on the 12 LRPV. It will be offered in RBRP and RBLP SA only. Retail should be somewhere between $380-$400.

All of the above will also have the new target trigger which is supposed to adjust down to about 8 oz.

Just thought some of you guys might like to know.

Put me first in line for one of these as a take off barrel. Would work great for another Striker project!!

can't wait to get some of those rblp actions. I just got the all the tools to true savage actions and ream the bolt race to accept ptg spiral fluted bolts. I like the accu triggers. I have gotten some of the older ones very light. With just polishing the trigger. Thanks for the heads up

Bill, the reason they went with the .308 is that the very popular F/TR class specifies .308 or .223 only.

When will these be available?

That makes sense. Still, I can't believe that they didn't do a faster twist 6mm in something. Maybe next year.

I'm ordering 2 of each. If you want one, give me a shout. If they turn out to be movers, I can order more throughout the year.
