Design and Chassis

The SAVAGE ARMS 12 LONG RANGE PRECISION is part of Savage’s Target Series with a focus on 1,000-yard performance. The rifle features an HS Precision fiberglass stock with v-block bedding to lock the action into a consistent position. A matte black finish and an 11 lb weight provide a stable platform for long-range strings and heavy-barrel harmonics.

Action, Barrel, and Trigger

Bolt Action and Barrel

This bolt-action design utilizes a carbon steel button-rifled barrel with a 26″ length and a 1‑8″ twist, tuned for the heavier, high-BC projectiles commonly used at long distance. The barrel and action are drilled and tapped for scope mounts so optics alignment and repeatability are straightforward for hunters and competition shooters alike.

AccuTrigger and Capacity

The user-adjustable AccuTrigger allows shooters to dial in a crisp, predictable release for precision follow-through. While the product narrative highlights a single-shot target focus, many configurations list a 4-round capacity; check the shop page for the exact configuration you prefer. For current pricing, the rifle is listed at $1,289.99.

Caliber Options and Ballistics

The Model 12 is available in 243 Win, 260 Rem, and 6.5mm Creedmoor. The 6.5mm Creedmoor option is especially notable for long-range work—high ballistic coefficient bullets, moderate recoil, and excellent inherent accuracy make it a go-to for 1,000-yard precision shooting. 260 Rem and .243 Win provide alternative trajectories and terminal performance depending on use case.

With an overall length of 46.25″ and a stable HS Precision fiberglass stock with v-block bedding, the rifle balances well from prone and bench positions. The combination of AccuTrigger, drilled/tapped action, and a button-rifled barrel makes it well-suited for long-range target work, precision hunting, and formal matches where repeatable accuracy at 1,000 yards is required.
