Looking for a Savage 12 Benchrest single shot Duel port 308 win

[Mike]

I am wanting get started in some bencherest shooting with a Single shot 308 win.  The Savage Model 12 BR single shot with duel port in 308 win and a 29 inch barrel caught my attention.  Doesn't seem to be available any more.
If someone has one for sale you can contact me.

Hi Mike, I can kinda help you out.  I have a model 12 benchrest with dual port action that's has bedded ready for a barrel of your choice. Stock will accommodate a 1.250 straight barrel if you don't wanna a taper. If you would like to discuss further message me with your number of email

Cheers

Hello Gary, Rick Pollock sent me a post of one for sale.  It is not the duel port Benchrest 29 inch version I was looking for.  I think it is the Model 12 FTR single shot 30 inch version.  I am in contact with the fella selling it but I was still leaning towards the duel port single shot Benchrest version.

What all are you offering here and what would I be looking for a price?

[Mike]

Thanks Gary

I am still interested.  Would you be completing this build?  I don't know much about barrels.  I don't have the resources or know how to complete it.  A faster twist might be better for todays longer bullets.  29 or 30 inch would be about right.  That is a nice heavy barrel. 1.250. I mean a heavier barrel sounds better to me.  Has this rifle been well used that you managed to need a new barrel already?  Why are some rifles using a 12 twist or 13 twist and others are using a 11.25" twist.  While hunting rifles appear to be using a 1:10. What kind of chamber did you have in mind?  You must have put some thought into this already.  What other mods?  Adjustable or raised comb, adjustable length of pull?  How about the means for attaching a bipod or not?  I'd probably just use a proper rest. The duel port single shot was my first thought that I wanted to go with.  What would you suggest for a scope?  You have my interest so far.  I just recently decided to entertain this idea.  This is all new to me.

Hi Mike, this is a Stock and Action no barrel I bought for another project but ended up putting barrel on a different action and having multiple barrels.

The action and stock are very near new and I had stock bedded  and barrel channel opened up to accommodate at straight 1.250 barrel and that's where it stopped. 

Going with a custom barrel is far better route than factory barrel as you can get what you want and chambered for what your wanting to do.

Happy to chat further and show you pics of stock and action.  here's my email gw272sf@gmail.com
