All I am saying is that marketing/market research is instrumental regardless of time period.
Man I want one of them in 300WSM, If you're tight with a dealer, price wouldn't be bad. I just called mine to see what its gonna be. I don't like the looks of the accustock but they work alright and it will shoot good, better than the old Tupperware jobs
Savage 12BVSS, What is your favorite 12oz scope?

I cant speak for him but my 2 favorites are swaro z3 3-10x42 and leupold vx-3i 3.5-10x40mm in the ~12oz envelope. i own a few of each and the swaro is better but the leupold is a solid scope.

As it should be since they have been around for awhile but sometimes it's not how you start but rather how you finish.
The bottom-line is that, it's always nice to have more choices (new or not) to choose from.
Cheers!

Wow before I could answer Darktimber beat me to the draw
Swaro Z3 is bright and light and not bad money considering its optics. Just made for a light set of talley rings. Dave3.010 coal, my mags will accept up to 3.1 . Max is at 3.035 I'm not sure where the savage will be. My limited experience with savage is that they use long for cartridge mags and actions.

the guy that puts his company name on that 156 bullet shoots a 1/8 twist prc with it and some of that hunting is done at sea level.
24" in those calibers
Are you serious, quite a bit actually!
If you own only Savages and just one Remmy, a "blueprinted" factory Sav is a different beast! The out of the box accuracy is way improved, from a less than 1MOA rifle with most box ammunition to a .5MOA or better rifle, with the same ammunition. But that doesn't matter anyway, I reload to get the most from any of my rifles, and the blueprinted models, make it that more the better to begin with. This particular 10BA Stealth will not be f'd with until the barrel is done, only mod is a way better adjustable MBA buttstock. I love the Savage, because I need what for a gunsmith, to do what I can in my own work shop, except for that one time. I purchase brand new 12FV's with a preplanned purpose of taking them apart and making them what I really want, with a better prefit barrel and a long range stock or chassis. Last I checked, this is Len Backus' Long Range Hunting Online Magazine, not the set a paper plate at 100 steps and if ya hit it, call it good enough.I dont see much need for a blue printed action with savages floating bolt head and when it comes to chambering the barrel, i feel much better buying a prefit barrel from a company that specializes in barrels , not a gun manufacturer that mass produces guns . And if you dont like the accufit stock athsetics , why buy the stock just to change to something else ?
Its a nice rifle for the average joe that doesnt hold their rifles to a custom rifles accuracy standard , but even though im a big savage rifle fan , if i want a proof barreled savage , i will buy components and build my own.

Elaborate for us common folk to understand...
Well if you shoot often like this common folk guy you would probably clean it quite often. When at the range I tend to clean quite often. Every 15-20 shots depending on which one of my rigs I'm shooting. This being a lightweight hunting rifle it may not see much range work but..... to each their own. As long as I can get the bolt out easily that's all I care about. Savage has had a couple of variances to this over the years.

I didn't realize pushing a button is such a difficult task.
