[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2836621, member: 106514"] I do love (and had forgotten about) the 12 LRPV. I think they are a sight better than the Model 110s. I have made some bugholes with them in years past without tinkering on them. You may still have a niche there where that model would be tough to beat, even at that price point. Another consideration is the twist rate. I would think it a short list of makes and models that still offer a traditional style bolt action rifle chambered in. 223 with 7 twist in a dedicated varmint weight rifle. I'd even admit to find a bolt gun chambered in .223 period is uncommon. They're all "Modern Sporting Rifles" now. Tikka and Sauer have varmint type rifles in that price range that I would consider better quality, but I'm pretty sure without looking they do not offer 1:7 twist, and may not have .223, though I think Tikka does. So I will back track and show some reverence for your particular model of Savage, sir! And besides, if you get a good rifle that dhoots lights out and that you love, then it's the best choice automatically, at ANY price point! Most excellent rifle, sir! If Savage would bring back the Model 14/114 en force, expand the LRP/LRPV Model 12 line, and tighten quality control with respect to their barrels, I'd jump back on the bandwagon. Oh, and I eant my Model 14/114s with TOP bolt releases!! [/QUOTE]
