I took advantage of the last sale at Cabelas for the Savage 12FV for $319. I have been having difficulties with the bolt as it is stiff and put close to 350 rounds already and now its really starting to get annoying when opening and closing bolt. Granted I like it... just getting frustrated. Granted for that price I am not expecting butter smooth action but I do have another Savage 12FV in .223, no problem with that rifles action. Way better than the 6.5 creedmoor. It was my fault as when I purchased it online and went to pick it up, did feel the stiffness but due to lack of experience I just really thought it was me. Well next time it won't happen and will definitely not take it on next buy.
I was looking to getting rid of it and seeing what I would get at Cabelas for it. I did purchase an aftermarket chasis (Oryx) but I can use that on the other .223 just have to get the correct magazines for it.
Is there a fix to this? The stiffness feels more in the middle of the action.
If I do go the first route, what can I get to replace it? Up to now I have $400 saved. Not much but have been getting reloading supplies and saved $ just gets getting smaller and smaller, lol. Possibly wait until there is another sale and get another again.
I am looking for threaded if possible, heavy barrel and do like the long barrel the 12FV has. I guess other rifles may be better in accuracy, but frankly I don't have a clue where to start.
Thanks in advanced.
