For precision shooters chasing consistent performance at long range, rifle design must prioritize repeatable fit, a predictable barrel, and an adjustable interface for the shooter. Every component of a dedicated 1000-yard rifle plays a role in group size and shooter comfort.

SAVAGE ARMS 12 delivers a purpose-built solution for that mission.

Design intent and role

The SAVAGE ARMS 12 is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle engineered around .308 LAPUA to give competitors and tactical marksmen a dedicated 1000-yard tool. It uses a stainless, button-rifled 30″ barrel with a 1:13 twist for stable bullet flight with heavy Palma-style projectiles, and the rifle ships drilled and tapped for scope mounts to make optics installation straightforward.

Barrel, caliber, and ballistics

Stainless button-rifled barrel

The 30″ stainless barrel is button rifled to offer long-term accuracy retention and consistent bore dimensions. For Palma-style competition and long-range practice, the 1:13 twist is optimized for the .308 LAPUA loadings commonly used at 1000 yards, balancing stability and predictable wind drift with Palma-weight bullets.

Ergonomics and shooter interface

Adjustable laminate stock

The satin wood laminate stock features both an adjustable butt and comb so shooters can tune cast, length of pull, and cheek height for a perfect cheek weld. That adjustability, combined with the rifle’s 11.5 lb weight and 49.75″ overall length, provides a steady platform in the prone position.

Trigger and optics readiness

SAVAGE ARMS 12 includes the user-adjustable AccuTrigger for a crisp, safe release and is supplied drilled and tapped for scope mounts—critical for mounting high-magnification competition optics with proper head position and eye relief.

Tactical shooters who demand one-round precision will appreciate the single-round capacity and stainless finish that handles range exposure. Key specs to note: capacity 1 rd, twist 1:13, barrel length 30″, overall length 49.75″, and weight 11.5 lb.
