Russel Sports or Wholesale Sports in Calgary don't have one? |
Russels say they have 3 on order, they just don't know the ETA. Wholesales here in Edm have none...duhhh, I never thought to ask if Calgary had any.

Another place to try is S.I.R in Winnipeg. They are great to deal with as is Russel Sports in Calgary.
S.I.R. www.sirmailorder.ca/

Hey 1895,....Found a Savage FV12!! Darned if there wasn't one at Wholesale in Calgary.
I was reading (with envy) the Cabellas website for bulk ammo.
500 rnds of .223 loaded with Hornady 55gr Vmax for $290
Thats 58 cents a round. You get an even better price buying a thousand rnds. Yes it is factory "remanufactured" but still.....
I haven't found any Canadian stores with prices vs quantities like that.

I have used the the 52 grain bullets in my 24" barrel .223 with a 1 in 9 twist for at least 15 years now and they work great. It will take game as big as coyotes without a problem. I don't think it the weight matters so much I've used 50 to 62 grains with good results as long as it's a quality bullet.

Rick:
I shoot 40gr Nosler over 26.5 gr of benchrest with fed 205m primers out of my Savage 1:9. It shoots .625moa consistently and when i do my part the group will go to half that size (no coffee!). A friend shoots the same twist in his Savage with moly 40 gr with similar results. Give them a try in your rifle you may be pleasently surprised.

26.0gr H335 40gr Hornady V-Max BT in Winchester brass, Win Sr primers gets me .5" @ 100yds Consistantly in an Bushmaster Varminter.
The brass is chamfered with a 22 degree chamfer and the primer flash holes are deburred, No crimp is used.

%#@$!#^#$% WHOLESALE!!!
I get a phone call from Wholesale saying they can't find the rifle! I say thats pi$$ poor inventorying. How the f*** can you "LOSE" a rifle???
Then I ask how long before the 5 they have on order show up?
"....oh...maybe between 3 to 5 months if they show up sir. Would you like us to process your order and just backorder it and call you when its in?"
NOT!!!!
I cancelled the order.

That hurts when a guy is ready and waiting for a new rifle, but I know what you mean, that's my biggest beef with Wholesale. Their inventory control is something else. That's about the same response I got when I wanted to order a Marlin 17hmr from them about 2 years ago. I ended up getting it from S.I.R. Wholesales customer service stinks and I don't know how they survive. I haven't ordered anything from them since last summer when I put in an order the beginning of Aug and after numerous calls I finally got it the end of Sept and then they double billed me. I got it cleared up but haven't ordered from them since. I get most of my stuff from either Russel Sports or S.I.R.
Cabellas has supposedly bought out S.I.R. in Winnipeg, so hopefully they keep coming west.

Ok, Savage lost a sale.
I bought a Remington SPS "Varmint" in .223 for $50 less than the Savage would have cost.
Then trigger is very crisp with *zero* creep or over travel. Even supposed to be adjustable according to the sales guy. We'll see...Even if I have to buy a Timminy trigger....at least I have a .223 now.

Congrats, that should be a great rifle. That likely has a 1 -12" twist right?
Have fun and let us know how it shoots.
