I heard somewhere that Savage would do Special Request on there rifles for a small fee. Is it possible for me to get a LRPV in a 243?

yes you can but also you could build it yourself just the way you want it with a few simple tools

Re: Savage Question
If you look at the Savage site, you can find two model 12's chambered in .243. Might be worth it to see if they fit your needs. Since the LRPV and .243 chambered Varmint barrels are already made by Savage, the combination should be readily available on request.
Personally, I would ask for the 10PC with the model 12 VLP 26" barrel. I think the Accue-Stock is a significant improvement.

Re: Savage Question
Savage made a custom Left Handed Stainless Scout Rifle for me. Was not "cheap" but they did a great job and I got delivery in about 12 weeks.

Really? I saw a 12 VLP for the first time yesterday. It is a solid beast. It is a laminated stock and pillar bedded? I have no experience with the Accu Stock but I was a bit surprised that you thought there would be a big improvement. I would be interested in understanding why.

Accustock has a full length aluminium bedding block in it, solid as a rock...

Re: Savage Question
Thanks, yep.
There is a wedge system that locks the recoil lug in really tight when the action screws are tightened, and the receiver cradle is set up with an interference fit to ensure absolute rigidity. It actually looks like it makes torque adjustments obsolete. I just wish McMillan could license the system.
It's a revolution, and not just an evolution. I suggest you check out the site, and review the details firsthand.
I admire the Savage 12 BVSS laminated stock, and had a 112BVSS .308 to shoot for a couple of years. I believe it's pillar bedded, and I know it shoots very well. I just consider a synthetic stock to be potentially more stable.
My Savage .260 F Class gun uses a factory pillar bedded McMillan A3. I think it's an outstanding platform, but I also think very highly of the new Accue-Stock, and I also consider the new Savage D/M system to be a significant plus. The erogonomics are more conventional than the A-series, but I have no qualms about them.

Re: Savage Question
Thanks for the replies. I am still not sure of what I am going to do yet but it is nice to know what my options are. I was actually looking at the LRPV because of the extra heavy barrel and the barrel length but I guess I could probably get a Precision Carbine with these options.

Re: Savage Question
243 , if you get a laminated stock savage watch the pillars. I have found in some cases the pillars were too deep in the stock to touch the action. If you plan on bedding the rifle its no big deal to remove some of the stock and then bed , works great. Good luck Savages are nice rifles.

Greg,
I couldn't agree more! And here is another link for the AccuStock;
http://www.savagearms.com/accuracy/accustock/
I read posts here people saying get rid of it and buy a (insert here) stock, or throw the wedge away, as purposed by some so called Savage "expert". Crazy, my Savage shoots sub sub moa and I've had the action out of the AccuStock a few times and have just followed Chris Bezzina's instructions resetting.

I think it's the shiznit because I've shot the FCP-K beside the 10FCP and the 10FCP McMillan and across different shooters and different ammo the Accustock was more accurate every time. That might not remain true if the McMillan had been pillar bedded (Savage doesn't), but in stock trim it was the Accustock by a significant amount.
And for the record, I have my action out of the stock two or three times a month and have no problems nor accuracy/zero issues when it's done. It's simple and repeatable.
Now if I could just get the Accutrigger adjustment screw to stop backing out.

I hadn't considered that. When I take it apart to clean from last Saturday's match (I've been lazy) I might put a dab of blue on it.
Thanks Axe!
