I have this gun http://www.gunsamerica.com/933441685/Gun...ng_Range_NE.htm and I'm wondering what the first thing I should do to improve accuracy? I'm open to any ideas just looking for the best bang for my money. Thanks

Re: savage 12fvss improvements?
Reliable optics, some diligent load developmen, and shoot the heck out of it.
My buddy and I used a 112BVSS (long action version of the same rifle) .308 as a standby loaner for newbies. It perforaed flawlessly for two 1000yd F Class seasons, shooting to the potential of all comers, including some well experinced F Class shooters.
IMHO the best way to improve its accuracy is to improve your own. If you ever find it holding you back, replace the barrel with a longer L-W .260 1:8" barrel and really see what LR precision shooting can be.
That rifle was the one rifle I could reliably trust to never be 'the problem'. Alas, I never actually owned it and had to oblige when the actual owner wanted it back. I still miss that rifle.

Re: savage 12fvss improvements?
My bad. Of course, better stock. I have experience with the McM A3 and A5, both are excellent. My Buddy likes the B&C Medalists.

Re: savage 12fvss improvements?
You should shoot it first and see how well you do, develop some loads for it, then go on from there. One upgrade I would definitely look at is a new stock, and depending on your preference there are a lot of good upgrades at all sorts of price ranges.

Re: savage 12fvss improvements?
I think you only need a stock. Savage rifles shoot very well with that one change. Some Savage rifles shoot very well without changing the stock. If you know a competition shooter, let him or her shoot it. They can provide you with a good assessment of how it does as is.
