I believe S12A is "down under" not so easy to exchange that there or here.You probably wouldn’t have any problem at all selling the chassis here and used LRP (HS Precision) stocks show up all the time in the equipment exchange.
Looks goodI was told this was the place to drop some pics of the new Savage...

In a way, I think that you answered your own question. If guys are willing to sink the extra bucks into the RPR, then whats $200 more for a trigger and a nicer chassis.It's interesting and better factory options are always a good thing. I also commend Savage for listening to feedback from shooters and making improvements. It has some very nice options, factory blueprint, good chassis, etc.
Here's my issue. Street price looks to be $1800, and it still has an accutouch trigger, so most guys are going to drop $200 on a new trigger.
When you have options like the Seekins Havok, APO, MPA, etc. all running tiny margins to stay under $2000 to hit PRS production limits for me that's a no brainer. I'll take those every time.
Not sure what the answer is for the big factory boys. I guess they can hope to capitalize on the fact that many guys simply don't know the more custom options exist, or that Savage fans are going to buy savage, and they might now have the best offering that's going to be in big box stores. Either that or they need to find a way to get the price down under the $1500 range, without doing like an RPR where guys are going to want to sink $1000+ of upgrades into it.
Beats the shit out of the seekins and saber chassis especially at $400 lessTrue but that was also more popular with all these new semi-custom $1999 options didn't exist, and frankly a lot of gun buyers don't exactly make the best purchases. I think what the RPR had going for it for awhile was the $900 entry fee, and upgrade later and it was basically the only game in town.
To me it comes down to $2000 for a Savage in an MDT with someone's aftermarket trigger, or $2000 for a MPA BA PMR, Seekins Havak, or Saber M700. The Savage just doesn't have a chance for the same price.

next yearso when is this rifle coming out in 300prc , what year? 2020,2021 ,....
Should be hitting shelves in the next few weeksAny new word on release dates per caliber? Anyone have one on order? Any more info about these showing up in the wild at select functions?
remember 3.85" CIP magazine is 3.75ish coalI spoke with them yesterday. Confirmed 300 WM @ 30", 9.25 twist and 3.85" mag length, but they wouldn't give freebore info. Since they're giving it more twist and the long mag, I would assume they're throating for longer bullets, but couldn't get them to confirm. Did confirm 300 PRC and Norma with them, but no date on when production will begin with those.
Without the actual freebore info on the WM, I'm tempted to wait for the other cartridges to come out. Been wavering between PRC and Norma for a while... but a properly throated factory WM would throw another wrench in the mix.

I could probably find outYes, thinking that coal and 30" should yield ~2900 with 230's... likely worth trying vs the 215's. Yet the freebore question remains...
I don't know that it really gets that granular because most are a standard saami spec however there are some deviations from that in certain cases.^Even if not exact freebore, if you could find out what bullet(s) each caliber is throated for, that would be amazing. I'm leaning Norma again...
Having this platform in 300 Norma with 2 extra bolts and barrels for 300 WSM and 6BR sounds great to me.
I'm not sure that using a long action with a 6BR would be a good solution.
Just from a feeding perspective or are there other potential issues with that?
I have the 338 on order direct with them and they said it should ship at the end of the month. Thats also what they said last month too.
I ordered one directly from Savage under their military discount program in November and was told it should hip by the end of december. Has not arrived yet. Called and they said the end of January now. But to your point I havent seen anything on the web about seeing one at Shot. You think they would have at least one out for people to see.No one sees one at SHOT?

No new info though
They also said they will start shipping current offerings this week. Who knows though.^Any info about the current offerings being available? I'm about to pull the trigger on something else since all I heard from them regarding timing was complete BS. It's so bad for their brand - just say it won't be available until March - stringing customers along with lies is never positive.
they are in stock at dealers already.They also said they will start shipping current offerings this week. Who knows though.
Where at?
Only 6.5 and 300Win so far
