The scope came in yesterday, and I got it mounted up last night. I really like this Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical. It's really bright and very clear. So much so I just got off the phone with Bruno's and ordered another one for my Savage 12-F/TR. The only problem I had was the 6-48 tapped holes were full of crud, and no way I could get the screws for the bases in. I took it to a local gunsmith and he told me he had a heck of a time cleaning them out. He had to charge me for the tap he used because it really dulled it beyond further use. I wish Savage would use plug screws on the models they coat with whatever it is they use. I had no such issues with the screws on the 12-F/TR. They went right in. The Burris Signature Zee Rings are a pleasure to work with. They really hold nice and tight without having to lap. Another thing I've found is once you get the reticle adjusted nice and straight, it will stay put without moving. Just tighten away and you're done. The bases are Burris Extreme Tactical Steel. I won't get a chance to get out to the range until next week, but that is fine because by then I'll have the 12-F/TR scoped and range ready as well. I've got a half dozen handloads prepared. I'm anxious to see how they both print. For anyone who is interested Bruno's has the best price on these Bushnell's. Bill T.

It's all wrong - You better send it to me - I'll take it off your hands for you. I need another Savage.

Seriously, nice rifle.
 
Thanks. I had some issues getting it scoped out. (See F-Class forum under "Savage 12-F/TR Reports"). But over all I'm happy. I won't get a chance to see how it prints for a week or 2, but I've got several loads cooked up for it, and my 12-F/TR that I'm waiting for a scope on. Should be here any day. It's another Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical 5-15X. I really like the brightness and the clarity of the Bushnell Elite Series. Bushnell is making some very good glass these days. Bill T.
 
Practical, get it done kinda rifle...! Hope it stack's'em nice and tight.!

Have you shot it with and without the device to compare the difference?

Adrian

Yep.
Huge difference. Perceived recoil is reduced 30-40%. I was watching while someone else shot the rifle. You can see the whip of the barrel, flatten out, at the de-resonator.
They say it is also suppose to help accuracy.
 
Have you had the chance to try them on both skinny and heavy barrels?
