Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Savage - LRPV- Mod12 (long range precision varminter )

Any of you shooters here have any feedback on the savage LRPV?
I was hoping to get some feedback on this beast of a rifle.

I bought an LRPV action several years ago stocked it and shot it as a 6mmBR at the local Varmint for Score matches. It's since been re-barreled to 30BR and I love the action,trigger and versatility.

I've helped set up two others for bench games with similar results.

I bought a Savage LRPV rifle in 6.5Creedmoor and have to say MY factory barrel can't compete with the match grade tubes I put on the others.
Mine is a solid 1 MOA barrel with Nosler,Barnes, Hornady,Berger in 120-140gr weights.
Not bad at all but I raised the bar with match grade barrels first, so It's hard to settle for a little less accuracy.
I've seen others that shoot somewhat better than mine so I can't predict what the average might be.

Who knows, I may get an itch for a barrel upgrade,again.
On a Savage It's a snap to swap em out.

I have two, one in 204 Ruger and one in 22-250. They are my absolute favorite prairie dog setups. Over the past few years, I don't shoot my other Savage varmint guns like I used to. The heavier barrel, the trigger, the overall weight, all lead to better stability and great accuracy. I am leaning toward selling the two VLP's and replacing them with LRPV's. I wish I had bought the LRPV's sooner.

I have a 6BR that shoots really well but I need to sell it.....

Are the LRPV discontinued?

Great guns. Have had a few. Currently only have one lrpv in 22-250. Shoots outstanding for a factory rifle. My friend has the same gun with almost 4k round Thru it and still shoots pretty good groups. The other ones I have re-used the actions and added aftermarket barrels and stocks. It’s an illness once you start swapping barrels, but it’s fun.

have to agree

bought my first HB Savage on a dare back......1998 maybe

Police Rifle...tupperware stock...223.heavy 9 twist 24" barrel

Kept going from there...concentrating mainly on the s/shot actions

Ran across some 'M' series s/shots....blue & SS 24" heavy barrels....dirt cheap

Believe they were leftover ML actions..large shank....223's

Have since then stepped up to the Target Actions...4.41" spacing..large shank threading

Still have a few set up as p/dog rigs....20-222..223AI..222 mag.......etc

Have always used Pac Nor for my barrel source........never got a bad barrel

Swapping barrels on Savage actions is fun...although have slowed down over the years

I've always preferred the Pac Nor over the rough Savage barrels

pic......Savage Target & heavy Pac Nor 9 twist 20-222

I’ve got one in a 220 swift. Killed several deer and pigs with the 60grain Nosler partition

I have the proven in 22-250 with a 9 twist. Shoots great. This is the laminate stock which is different than the LRP. Edk

How does LRPV change to proven with spell check? Edk

This is probably the earlier 'BVSS' model w/black forearm tip ?

Then came the 'Low Profile' series

Which was much easier on the eyes
