The New Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter

The newest rifle to the widely acclaimed 12 Series Varmint, the model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter, not only defines accuracy, it sets a new standard in long range shooting. The very best in the series, it features an extra heavy barrel--one inch in diameter--and a smaller ejection port that gives more rigidity to the receiver and enhances the accuracy for more precise shooting. The right bolt, left port, also makes it easier to reload with your free hand. This new model comes equipped with the revolutionary AccuTrigger--allowing you to adjust trigger pull from approximately 1 1/2 to 6 lbs, easily. The HS-Precision stock features an alluminum bedding block chassis system and all barrels are button rifled and free floating to enhance the accuracy.
