Savage Custom Rifle Build, this is the introduction. As we move further along building this Savage rifle, we will be posting a Step-by-Step series. We are starting out with the Savage Model 12fv.
We still have some decisions to make, like the stock, caliber, recoil lug and more.

7 yrs ago, but new to me. I just decided to pull my Savages 308 barrel. This is going to help me.... Thanks

@chchthah 4 года назад

Regarding whether to build a .243 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor, I look more to ammo availability. Of course that is not as much of an issue if you do quite a bit of hand loading. There does not seem to be too much difference in the ballistic performance between the .243 and the 6.5. I personally chose the .243 over the 6.5 due to ammo availability. I don't reload and I have limited resources for ammo. .243 Winchester is more available at the big box store in my town than is 6.5 Creedmoor. That contributed to my decision to go with .243. Although I don't have a 6.5 Creedmoor I do shoot the 6.5 Swedish and love the combination of accuracy, flat trajectory and low recoil. When you get into the sixth decade of life, low recoil with high performance also contributes greatly to the decision process. Twenty years ago I would have made an argument for 308. Not now. It is still a good caliber and not too harsh, but I can put more rounds of .243 down range before I need to stop for the day than I can .308. Good luck on your build. I think the selection of the Savage rifle as a base framework is an excellent choice on which to teach how to build and for a first time builder to learn.

@craigschulz1852 5 лет назад

What I did to my savage 22-250was take a aluminum square rod, thread a hole for the sling stud, & make a groove in the stock for the rod. I then glass bedded the rod into the stock & it made a huge difference in the stiffnence of the factory stock. Made a difference in group size from .860 to.425 using Winchester ballistic Silvertips. I am very happy

@ez7977 3 года назад

This series is freakin amazing! Seriously. I just bought a savage 110 ultralight and spent the past few weeks taking it down, polishing the bolt, tuning and cleaning the trigger mech. And setting up my rifle. Every video you did helped immensely! Thank you!

@vaughnprecision 3 года назад

EZ I'm happy to hear you liked it and it helped you out! Let me know how it shoot one of these days!

@ez7977 3 года назад

Vaughn Precision - i will! I still got to take a scope off another rifle, mount that, and load some ammo. It is a 280 AI, and ive had a hell of a time getting a die set. I bought a 280 AI traditional die set (all i could get) and figure out how to machine/modify the die or trim case... anyway, ill keep you updated!

@ducatilinn1276 6 лет назад

I bought the same gun in 6.5 creedmoor, I love it, i put a cabelas covenant 6-24-50 and it shoots great

@TexanUSMC8089 6 лет назад

SWFA makes the best scope for that price range.

@hdougd1 3 года назад

Doug Dinkel 6.5 Creedmoor all the way !

@hardball107 2 года назад

I have a 12FV, I load 120gr PPU OTM bullets (cheap) over 39gr of Win 748 or 43gr of 6.5 StaBall and it shoots .5" any time, any where. It still wears the plastic stock but I put a Vortex Diamondback II 4x12x40 on top of it and it's just amazing the way it groups. I think it needs more glass, maybe a Vortex 4x16x44 (30mm tube) and someone with younger eyes and I seriously believe it will shoot even tighter. My stock had the same problem as yours, I placed shims on the tight side to pull it over and warmed the stock with a heat gun and after cooling it was perfect. I love this rifle, I only paid $400 for it, no one liked the heavy barrel so I got a discount, but man, does it shoot. I also have a Axis in 270 and a 110 in 7mm/08 that shoot easy moa but that 12 in 6.5CM is a standout. Keep it, I'll be watching.

@davehutchens2143 7 лет назад

You already have .243's. Try something new. I have a 243 with a shilen and I love it. Now I also have a 6.5 Creed and love it too!! Look forward to your choice and your build. Great job!!

@cz_ww2117 2 месяца назад

Just found your channel, .308 can do anything the 6.5 can do.

@SocialRegressive 7 лет назад

I didn't know they were still making the 12FV! Very cool. My favorite rifle is my 12FV in .243.

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

The Social Regressive unfortunately they don't offer it in .243, so I must build this.!

@brucelarson3504 5 месяцев назад

I’m tossing the new synthetic stock from a SS savage 93r17 in the can. Let’s build one up in MDT Oryx.

@WestDesertShooter 7 лет назад

I'm in the chambering debate as well right now. I want to re-barrel my Tikka to shoot heavier bullets but people don't like the short barrel life of a 243 compared to the 6.5 creed. I might end up going with a 6mm creedmoor and shooting 110 sierra match kings but the 243 is still right up there contending with it. Just compare ballistics to 1000 yards between the different cartridges and see what makes the most sense!

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

I'm going to run a ballistic comparison of .243 vs 6.5 Creedmoor over 1400 yards. Thats about the max range for a .243 at sea level. I may actually make a video on the ballistic comparison using Ballistic AE. It's been my experience the .243 doesn't burn up barrels like most people think. I guess if you ran hard hot strings of shots without a cool-down you may burn them out faster, but that's not how I shoot usually . Between comments and emails, it seems to be a 50/50 split .243/6.5. I'm just such a huge .243 fan I'm leaning that direction. I guess I should let science do the talking.

@nextzipcode 7 лет назад

I am a huge 243 win fan. I own a Savage Model 10 with a 1-8 Shilen barrel that I have shot accurately out to 1506 yards hitting MOA size targets with 105 gr Hornady Amax. I do not have a 6.5 Creedmoor yet. That being said....I own and operate Green Mountain Rifle Challenge. The longest range in the Northeast. We can go out to 2200 yards. I host PRS style Matches and I have to say the shooters with the 6.5 Creedmoor have consistently taken 1st place. There is something very about the 6.5 Creedmoor that seems very easy to tune and shoot well. I am having a custom rifle being built that will be done in 2 weeks. It is chambered in the 243 win but I have a 1-7 twist barrel on it to shoot the 115 DTAC. I am curious to see what it will compare with to the 6.5. I believe I could have a advantage. However my next build will be either a 260AI or 6.5 Creedmoor. Keep up the good work!

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Thanks.! I'm going to do some ballistic comparisons using BallisticAE, that may help determine the direction. The problem is, all of them are truly good.....

@jeffcarpenter1891 6 лет назад

Great videos, what do you think of the Axis rifles and would you consider a build series on them.

@p.d.gordon9890 6 лет назад

6.5 Creedmoor, or .243 both work unless you are really into long range shooting then 6.5 CM wins.

@coltinlaplante7400 5 лет назад

Just watched the playlist, just wondering why you didn’t pillar bed the Boyd’s just got myself the same rifle in 6.5cm and ordered an at one stock trying to figure out what’s gonna work the best for me thanks

@HighPriestVaticanAssasin 6 лет назад

Bell and Carlson target competition stock

@austintyler7991 6 лет назад

6.5 CM Savage12 fv & Boyd AT-One stock

@johnharris9726 5 лет назад

6.5 creedmore is a great round.

@RicardoGarcia-gi3dx 6 лет назад

I have that model in .22-250 , made it in 2005. It is a jet with 55Grs. I ordered a Shillen barrel 1:8 twist 2 month ago, no chance to install. I wish to swap a shillen barrel 1:9 in .260 Remington, but I do not know what is more convenient, or buy a new savage, a Sauer or XPR.

@pierreferrer7237 4 года назад

Well, .243 is a 6mm. There's a very nice ans capable 6mm. option nowadays and it's the 6mm. Creedmoor. This way, you'd be buying the same bullets than all your .243 shooting friends.

@TexanUSMC8089 6 лет назад

the 12FV plastic stock does have steel pillars though. Not as good as accustock, but better than most plastic stocks.

@nfn10asd 4 года назад

Bought a 110 "accu everything" and ya, wish I had caught this video before the buy, cause my stock, has the same one side fine, the other touching...poor quality SAVAGE! The accu stock boast of alum bedding 3 dimensional, but could get the rifle straight!

@bobbyarnett1854 6 лет назад

in fact I'm going to buy the 12 fv in a 6.5 cm

@zachwynn7670 5 лет назад

6.5 for sure

@jeffvincent6772 4 года назад

Maybe one of them chassis MPV?

@jeffvincent6772 4 года назад

Yeah I think six mmmm creedmoor the best of both cartridges

@austinanderson8485 6 месяцев назад

What is the biggest animals you will ever hunt if bigger than a deer of the 2 I would say go with 6.5 if you wanna stay in a short action

@ericmayham7866 4 года назад

I have an Axis II in .223. Would an Axis build be the same or are the Axis actions, barrels, and bolts designed differently?

@stevencoats7443 Год назад

So I have started building a savage 6.5 prc carbon tactical and I am starting to think that it would be cheaper to just go ahead and buy a really good action from defiance or something cause I am like 3500 in it right now and I looked at prices on some of the other stuff I would like to get for it and I will be like 9000 dollars in to it

@jeremybrown9785 7 лет назад

Hey happens to flip by your vid I can't help with the caliber change because they are both 2 of my favourite but may I suggest the Lss chassis system and then you can run any ar style stock and grip you want I have one personally and even tho I paid less for the gun lol 😂 I wouldn't change a thing

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Jeremy Brown thanks for checking it out. We'll do a little research on the Lss, it's my friends call but I'll pass him all the info.!

@patdennis3751 6 лет назад

While the .243 Winchester is a great deer hunting cartridge it is not so good for a target rifle as it is pretty hard on barrels. The 243 will burn out a barrel twice as fast as a 6.5 and three times faster than a .308 Win.

@jimmyjamautrey 5 лет назад

i bought the same gun in >308 as well. got it 100 off sale price plus 100 mail in rebate and mil discount (205 out the door), installed an xlr element chassis, shooting 3/4 to half MOA at 100 with custom loads. I dont have deep pockets, is there anything that I my self can do to the trigger with out taking it to a smith or putting after market trigger?

@stevencoats7443 Год назад

Any thoughts and the 9000 is not even doing any action upgrades or a barrel swap I did put a timiniy trigger however

@jassonco 6 лет назад

Does this model 12FV have the small or large barrel shank?

@johngarrie2633 5 лет назад

I would like to see you build a 6.5 thinking about getting one you can shot a 140 gr . And it is flat and hits harder then a 243 . And I have a243 love it now I need a 6.5 🤷🏼‍♂️

@vaughnprecision 5 лет назад

John Garrie look ahead in my videos, we built 3 of them.!

@neilharris4462 7 лет назад

Both are excellent choices... how about 6mm Creedmoor???

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Neil Harris the 6mm Creedmoor is on the list. I'll do some comparison with that as well

7 лет назад

Well since it's obvious money is not a problem I would go with the 6.5 Creedmore for a Percision long-range rifle

@fjb4932 5 лет назад

fsteddie95 Love the ability of my stock Savage .243 to shoot 55-105 grain bullets. It's accurate. REALLY love being able to shoot 85-147 grain bullets from my stock 6.5 CM. It's even more accurate ( for doping wind ) for me at extended ranges. Real good BCs...

@rainmechanic 6 лет назад

Does Savage make an Accustock for their older blind magazine short actions? If so I would personally buy this same rifle in 6.5 Creedmore and look for an Accustock take off on eBay for it.. Perhaps its possible to modify one of the newer Accustocks to fit and one of those could be used.. Great selection on the scope. Those SWFA Super Snipers have fantastically accurate and repeatable tracking, etched reticles, and decent glass.

@vaughnprecision 6 лет назад

rainmechanic not that I’m aware of, but I could be wrong. Perhaps modifying one to fit could be an option.

@bobbyarnett1854 6 лет назад

6.5 creedmoor is what I want so bad

@johnnytx8444 2 года назад

Excellent rifle build series ! What do you think of the Savage Axis II (280 Ackley) for a build ? How much better in your opinion is the 12FV action & bolt compared to the Axis II ..... Thanks and keep the videos coming

@vaughnprecision 2 года назад

The fit and finish of the axis is a little poor, but certainly doable. I personally prefer the 12 over the axis though.

@jermainesimms6485 Год назад

Build the 243win and shoot ham Berger 95 grain bullets

@samlishness1841 7 лет назад

I vote 6.5 Creedmoor!

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

We are doing the 243 Ackley Improved, a wildcat round..

@ronwarren9315 7 лет назад

Hop on the 6.5 bandwagon. You will get more viewers as this is a very popular cartridge. Maybe also consider using a chassis like a KRG 180-Alpha Chassis. Seems like the RPR has moved a lot of PRS shooters in this direction. But Traditional is ok as well with the B & C or Manners.

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

I've always wanted one, this is going to be a very hard decision to make.! I'll wait for more votes.

@sevany6581 2 года назад

is that possible convert a savage axis 308 win to 223 ?

@medhist2006 5 лет назад

Did you have any trouble with extremely heavy bolt lift after firing a round? Mine feels like about 25-30 lbs Thanks

@vaughnprecision 5 лет назад

medhist2006 wow that’s a lot. No I don’t have any issues at all with heavy bolt lift. Maybe a couple pounds max.!

@1187gar 2 года назад

Get both, switch barrel..

@davidtatro4573 5 лет назад

I’m confused why did u pick savage 12fv and did u keep anything from that rifle and why? Sorry I’m new to all this customizing I’m just a factory guy, great channel thx

@vaughnprecision 5 лет назад

David Tatro it was just a project I wanted to do. There wasn’t much on RU-vid about building or customizing a Savage. The reason for the 12-fv is simply cost. I sold all the parts I could.

@Elnyne 6 лет назад

6XC, .or 260AI

@cameronschmidt3508 6 лет назад

I've been reloading an shooting for quite a few yrs. But of late I've gotten interested in long rang shooting. I was in search of information an came across your channel. I've been having fun watching your videos an trying the things if learned with my 243 win. But eventually I want to get a dif gun more capable. I'm looking @ ruger precision in 6.5 creedmoor. Was wondering what your thoughts are on the ruger? Building a gun wouldn't be out of the picture tho. I'm wondering about how much did this savage build cost also. Thanks! I'm always waiting for your new videos!

@vaughnprecision 6 лет назад

Cameron Schmidt thanks for watching. The build cost me about $1200, that was a total cost with scope. The Ruger, last I checked, didn’t have much twist for the better bullets. Also, any time you have a mass produced rifle barrel they rarely are as accurate

@cameronschmidt3508 6 лет назад

Ok awesome! I might need to look into building one a little more. Does that include head space gauges an glass bedding materials an that?

@vaughnprecision 6 лет назад

Cameron Schmidt the tools ran about $100 for the barrel wrench and headspace gauge, not included in the price I said earlier

@marlenebrown3238 6 лет назад

Is there a different in actions from the model 110 and the 12

@vaughnprecision 6 лет назад

Marlene Brown ya, short action vs long

@jamesr7583 7 лет назад

What is the intended purpose? How far do you plan to take it out? That would help with a caliber recommendation. ;)

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Hahaha, good point. I should have stated that in my video! I usually shoot around 1000 yards and below. Not to say I don't go a little further sometimes but that isn't very often just do to the area I live in.

@jamesr7583 7 лет назад

So many choices. I shoot a 260 myself and I have a 243 for my daughter at those distances. For some reason the 6mm Creedmoor intrigues me. The 6.5 PRC is another one I'm keeping an eye on. 6.5 creedmoor is a safe bet and will have a little longer barrel life than any of the 6's, except for maybe a 6br... another viable choice :) Good luck with this one!

Hi Curt, Im looking to do the same build you did so well.Here in Canada we cant get that model but we have the axis model. do you think its wroth about $80 more for the accutrigger? many thanks

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

medhist2006 yes..! The accutrigger is well worth the extra.! You could also do a model 10, that's a solid action that performs well.

@medhist2006 7 лет назад

I wish i could find another 112v like mine. single shot

@MrFelix002 Год назад

I’m thinking 6.5 creedmore

@gglaser9687 6 лет назад

@TSNOutdoors 5 лет назад

Are the ballistics comparable between 6.5 and 243?

@vaughnprecision 5 лет назад

The .243 AI shoots about 3200+ FPS. It's much faster than the others.

@khempleman 4 года назад

Compare the 6.5 cm and the remaining 260....sister rounds same parent case same bullet

@rduncan601 6 лет назад

i know you made the the savage build with mod.12vf,,,,you used a shilen barrell...how do you rate the factory barrell?im using the Boyd stock...

@vaughnprecision 6 лет назад

Richard Duncan I rate factory barrels like something you would expect from Walmart. Mass produced with minimal quality control

@halfdollar86 7 лет назад

They now make that rifle in 6.5 creedmoor

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Halfdollar 86 I'll have to look in to that.! That must be new

@halfdollar86 7 лет назад

Vaughn Precision yes it is new. I bought this exact gun in 308 about 1.5 months ago and it wasn't in the lineup then

@margaretschaff9174 5 лет назад

Vaughn Precision Greetings from Canada; Can you go from .308 to .300 wsm? That very same rifle is at the local Cabelas at a great price.

@vaughnprecision 5 лет назад

Margaret Schaff is have to look at the specs to be sure, but you should be able to change the bolt face and barrel. But I’m not sure if the mag will hold those or not.

@fafniricingdeath 4 года назад

Why in gods name would you do that? You dont gain that much in range/energy but you do gain cost. 300wsm ammo is 40-60 bucks for 20. Yay? You have to reload for it unless you are rich and even reloading equipment is pricey. Rethink that.

@rumrunner1820 7 лет назад

243!

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

That's my thought at this point.

@Shipster40 7 лет назад

6.5 Creedmoor. It's time for a change! :-)

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Seems to be a split on .243 and 6.5 from all the comments and emails. I may run a ballistic comparison and see what that looks like.

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Jason Potter that's an idea... I'll do a little more research on that.!

@jassonco 7 лет назад

I just built mine on a 110 small shank, 26" varmint hunter weight barrel. I just finished up some load development this past weekend, with 140 VLDH and 143 ELDX bullets. I love Savages, no smithy required. I have the 6.5 Creedmoor too.

@Codys_gone_wild 7 лет назад

Go 6.5 it's amazing lol

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

Well, it's a clear 50/50 split on .243 vs 6.5.... I thought I'd have a vote heavy sided but that's not the case at all. I'm going to post some Ballistic calculations on both in an upcoming video and make a final decision. But I appreciate the views and votes..!! Stay Tuned.

@Codys_gone_wild 7 лет назад

I can't wait to see it when it's all done

@dgunnut6550 7 лет назад

I vote for the 6.5 Creedmore. I recently picked up the same gun in .22-250. Very accurate right out of the box. Here are links to a couple of my videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o-HCa5RyskQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-feVxkHL6gko.html

@vaughnprecision 7 лет назад

I'm going with the .243 Ackley Improved. The ballistics are very attractive on this round and not much info out there on the Ackley. I subscribed to you channel as well.

@dgunnut6550 7 лет назад

Vaughn Precision Thanks for the sub! I saw some of your other videos in the series after I posted my comment and saw you selected the .243 AI. Good choice. Should be a great build. The other caliber option I was thinking about when I saw this was the 6mm Creedmore.
