So I just picked up a savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor and talked the LGS to throw in a scope base as part of the deal. He gave me a weaver rail and it indicates that it is for this model 12's so I am not putting blame on the LGS. My issue is there is a notch for a recoil lug on the rail but not one on the receiver. This is my first savage rifle and am not sure why weaver would put this in unless it's just the LRP model that is different from other savage 12's. Does anyone have any input or experience with this rifle or other savage 12's? You can see the recoil lug on the rail in the second and third pics. Thanks all!
