barrel question

[customaquatics]

is the Savage Mark II FV an the Savage Mark II Camo both have heavy barrels?
the Mark II FV

Mark II Camo

It looks to me like the Mark II camo has the sporter barrel with a total weight of 5 lbs.

The Mark II FV has a heavy barrel with a total weight of 6 lbs. Anytime you see a V in a Savage model designation, the V stands for varmint.

I don't know about the difference in weights or the V designation, but I agree with Pawpaw's visual assessment of sporter barrel on the camo stock and heavy barrel on the black stock.

Here is info I found a while back, I believe it's accurate, and as already mentioned, the "V" means heavy barrel- and the camo doesn't have it.

You can always call Savage to be sure.

AK -Adjustable Muzzle Brake
B -Laminate Stock
C -Clip (Detachable Box Mag.)
F -Synthetic Stock
G -Hardwood Stock
L -Left Hand
LE -Law Enforcement
ML -Muzzleloader
NS -No Sights
P -Police
SE -Safari Express
SS -Stainless Steel
U -Ultra High Lustre
V -Long Range (Heavy Barrel)
XP -Package Gun
Y -Youth

Example - Model 111FLC
F = Synthetic Stock
L = Left Hand
C = Clip

That's a pretty good list. I'd add

H, for hinged floorplate.
BT, for Boyd's Thumbhole Stock
BV, for Boyd's Varmint stock

I think that's what those letters indicate.
