Savage is a leader in the industry in rolling out the new models with innovative features. Some of the key new models that are driving sales for 2007 are featured here.
Savage has introduced two competition rifles for 2007……. the 12F class and the 12F/TR class models. Both guns are designed for competing in events out to 1,000 yards. The F Class rifle is chambered in 6.5×284 and the F/TR rifle is chambered in .308 Both models utilize Savage’s new target action with the smaller port and have the new 6 oz. adjustable Target Accu-Trigger. These rifles both feature a 30 inch extra-heavy barrel for additional velocity. Savage is the only manufacturer currently to offer F Class target rifles.
- Laminated flat bottomed stock with extra-wide ventilated forend
- Target AccuTrigger adjustable from 6 oz. to 2 ½ lbs
- Right bolt, right port short action receiver
- Smaller ejection port for extra rigidity
- 30″ Extra-heavy stainless barrel
- Chambered in 6.5 X 284 NORMA
- MSRP $1211
In my humble opinion these new offerings from Savage are going to set the standard for the rest of the manufacturers. As I have not seen any of the guns in my shop as of yet it would be interesting to hear from readers how they shoot and the quality of the product. If anyone has a F Class or a new rifle such as model 10, Model 12 Long Range Precision or any rifle that has been introduced in 2007 let us know how the bedding is (if any) and other features that catch your eye.
