August 15, 2006 - Field and Stream Magazine, the number one outdoor magazine, has announced that it has selected Savage Arms to receive the prestigious "Best of the Best Award" for its Model 12 Long range Precision Varminter. Each year the editors test hundreds of outdoor products, awarding the select few top performing items the coveted title of "Best of the Best".
According to Field and Stream, Savage was chosen as Best of the Best in part for building "an enviable reputation for super accuracy even in low- to medium-priced rifles". They continue, "With the Model 12, they have outdone themselves. Essentially a benchrest rifle with a long barrel, this gun will outshoot any factory varminter I've used and will match many custom rifles in accuracy."
The award concludes that, "It's a brilliant design at a price that any serious varmint hunter can afford. Until something better comes along--and that will be a while--it's the class of the field.
The Savage Model 12LRPV, is equipped with the new AccuTriggerTM allowing the shooter to easily adjust the trigger pull from approximately 1½ to 6 lbs without paying a gunsmith to adjust the trigger. The AccuTriggerTM is also extremely crisp and exhibits no creep, adding to the accuracy of the gun.
"We're honored to be selected as "Best of the Best" by such a prestigious publication as Field and Stream." commented Brian Herrick, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "It's rewarding to see our Precision Varminter publicly recognized as the best, most accurate rifle in its class."
As a manufacturer of firearms for more than 100 years, Savage Arms has earned the reputation of unsurpassed accuracy for out-of-the-box shooting at an affordable price.
