I just got the 12FVSS in 270 WSM. The shooting weather in North Dakota has not been good either. Lots of wind and a cold snap has really taken the fun out of going to the range.

Savage rifles have set the standard for out of the box accuracy. I don't think they have a written guarentee like some but its harder to find a Savage that does not shoot well that finding one that does. I expect that this new one will easy shoot sub one inch groups. Mine tips the scales at 8.75 lbs without optics so I don't think recoil will be an issue even in the 270 WSM
