I just found a morel 12 LRPVA with a 6mm BR for $692. Someone ordered it two years ago and didnt take delivery. The gun shop wants it gone. My big concern is the 1 :12 twist rate. I also heard that savage freebores too much (for accuracy they say but i suspect it has more to do with perceived safety since askinh a bullet to make that jump rarely helps accuracy.)They supposedly use the same type of reamer for their 1:8 models. This isnt good since the 1:8 can shoot much longer bullets.

Does anybody have any first hand experience with this gun in this caliber/twist rate combination?

I just purchased the Savage 6 mm Br from a local arms dealer and shot it for the first time this week. Trigger resistance had been adjusted down to the minimal 6 oz. Using a Ziess (sp) scope (Conquest) I put 4 rounds through the same hole at 100 yards. The fifth round was an 1/8 inch up as I had moved the stock from the rear bench rest and aimed using my shoulder. By the way, I am a novice shooter. This gun is fabulous and I recommend it highly.

Comment #4 mentions a magazine. Is this referring to the 6br? This post is the very first that I’ve heard about a 6br being made by a domestic factory and is great. But, as usual, I’m sort of confused about what I’m reading. Time and more info will fix this, again, as usual.

EDITOR: The 6BR F-Class model is a single-shot. The LRVP (Long-Range Precision Varminter), comes in two (2) versions. One is a RBLP with blind, internal magazine, the other is a RBRP repeater with a detachable box magazine. According to the 2008 Savage Catalog, the 6BR is one of the chamberings for both LRVP versions.

Yet, again Remington misses an opportunity when Savage acknowledges and fills a market niche. Remington must be working really hard to design another rifle to chamber in .223 or .308.
