hi, i am looking at buying a soild bolt action rifle for varmints and overall fun. i know for sure i will get it in.223. i been leaning toward getting a savage 12vf. iam drawn tothe accu-trigger and 26" barrel. it seems like a good rifle for the money.
anyone have good or bad experiences with this rifle? what scope (that does not cost more than the rifle) is the best for it?
i know that all guns like certain ammo the best, i was wanting to buy the white box (winchester) in 55gr at wally world--nice cheap ammo, is this ammo good for this rifle? thanks for the help

or...does anyone know of a comparable rifle (price and barrel) that is betterthan this rifle. thanks again
