Here is a picture of what the Savage 12BVSS did out of the box.
I finally got a picture on a lower resolution so this forum would take it they limit you to 100 k. I have a bunch of .5 and under my best is .218" 5 shot group this is a .223
I alway like 5 shot groups they tell the real story this. This rifle is very comparible to remington Quality Laminted stainless steel. I have a 8-32 40 bushnewll 4200 elite scope on it. The new 12 bvss is better looking Savage designed the stock a streamlined.

I've had good ones and bad ones in just about every rifle brand and model out there, but I've found Sako and Tikka rifles to be exceptionally accurate as a general rule.

I'm from NJ shotgun/muzzleloader state. I do have a few rifles most of which given to me by my father, and all are classices and I love them all. I do have 2 rifles that where brand new out of the box.

For my 16th birthday back in '86 my father got me a SAKO HUNTER .30-06
A few years ago I brought myself a Remington 700 SS .300win mag

There is nothin like that SAKO, I havent hunted with that gun in 10yrs, took it to the range and man its still on !!!!!!!

Tikka T3, I could hit a quarter at 150 yards with a Bushnell Elite 3200
