[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 552224, member: 376"] If the one you're looking at is the 12 LRP, I have one in 6.5 Creedmoor. Very accurate w/ factory ammo, and they put the 'recipe' right on the back of the boxes. Because it isn't really a 'main stream' caliber (compared to a .308 or .260 that have been around for decades) your choices on dies is limited (don't think Forster makes any yet, and Redding charges thru the nose for theirs). It might be worthwhile to call Savage's customer service and see if they would do a special order in .308 Win. The bolt face is the same diameter (.473), I'm guessing the mags are pretty much the same (if not the .243/.260 mags should work fine)... just gotta sweet talk them into making a barrel for it, and its not like they don't make .30 cal barrels there... ;) I've been told that sometimes the special orders get done faster than if you order a straight up production model. The former get done between setups for the large production runs, and the latter get done whenever they are in the queue to be done. Good luck, Monte [/QUOTE]
