is the savage 12 Fclass that bad of a gun??

Thanks for straightening me out Monte, must be the one I know of was a 12 Benchrest with the PALMA stock, or he worked it to fit the action he used.

I own two of the Savage Model 12 in 6.5 x 284 Norma. They both shoot great from 600 and 1000 yards. I am happy with both of them.

If I am reading it right from the August 2010 Guns magazine...

A four-man team used factory stock Savage rifles competing against custom-made rifles to win the national championship in both 600 and 1,000 yard F-class competition.

They also set a new record for score at 1,000 yards.

Again, if I am reading this right.

You did read it right and prior poster Mr. Milanuk is one of those fine shooters. Team Savage is: John Weil, Darrell Buell, Monte Milanuk and team captain, Stan Pate. Their record of wins is very impressive, especially since they are shooting factory rifles.

which rifles are they shooting? are any of them shooting the F class?

 

[Steve Blair]

I think they use the 12 F/TR.
