I would recommend the Savage 12 FCV. This model has the aluminum bedding block that will give you great accuracy. No need to glass bed these. With handloads I can cut 5 shot groups into one ragged hole at 100 yds. I also have the Hog Hunter in a 223 that I use for deer. I glass bedded it and my groups are no more that an inch at 100 yds. I say get the Savage 12 with the aluminum bedding blosk. You won't be sorry!
