+1 for the Savage 220 with Acutips. I love how accurate this thing is.

Was looking at this model the other day. I have had problems with light primer strikes on savage rifles in colder weather, does this shotgun have any issues that way? How cold of weather have you used this gun in? Also I love Nikon scopes, between all my guns I have about a dozen, very good choice

I hunt into Canadian winter, it always fires. In fact never had a misfire with this gun.

I have the second gen version in 20 gauge with the same Nikon scope. Dropped a doe at 160 yards using Federal Premium Trophy Copper 2 3/4" 275 gr. I'm in a shotgun only area and wanted something with a little more range, then I found the Savage 220 and heard nothing but excellent reviews on it. I sighted it in at 100 yards and I was getting near sub MOA groupings. I then pushed it to 200 yards with 2 inch groups. The farthest I've shot was 260 yards and hit a 6 inch plate with all three shots with little to no wind. I've tried three brands of sabot slugs, Winchester Partition Gold, Hornady SST, and Federal Premium, all shot very well. This gun is scary accurate for a sabot slug slinger! Cheers

Yes its a super gun, at our gun range you can easily hit the steel plates at 200 yards, with 2-3 inch type groups.

This is Andrew. I hunt with the savage 220 also. I found that if you load the corner of magazine opposite latch first, then the latch will click in nice.

Good tip. Its a great gun isnt it, It gives me such great take down confidence against whitetails. What slugs do you use? I found the 3 inch remington accutips are the most accurate so far.

I love my savage, but my stupid ass bought mine during the ammo shortage. I didn't think I would ever find ammo. I finally found a boatload SST 2 and 3,4th inch. I bought all they had. The last deer I killed, was close, but got a passthrough. I would have confidence taking my savage to Alaska ,and hunting anything. Andrew.

The scope is very important, the crazy ballistics (the drop) of this type of calibre means that without this type of scope, past 100 yards the holdover would be a big guess. With a BDC scope you can shoot out past 200 yards no issue, with quick reaction.

Sorry, was just sighting it in for deer hunt. It shoots 1 MOA. With 20 gauge Accutips as rare as unicorns right now. I did not want to throw rounds down range when I know the gun was accurate. I will do a followup later with a bunch of groupings.

Your point is made, 3shot groups 'prove' something. The point of a cold bore shot nearly clipping the X proves something too. Even if it's a 2.5MOA gun starting out at the bullseye is a great start. BTW, my 870 20ga wears a scoped slug barrel and runs Hornady's 275gr best. Too many people denigrate the 20ga slug as under-powered but will laud a 44Mag carbine--similar weights at similar velocities. Go figure. Hunt hard, harvest clean, cook chili!

@@rokkinjohann Yes I agree. For this deer gun, I wanted to confirm sight, in as if I was hunting. Sitting in the tree stand, waiting, cold barrel. You get one shot. The gun is a tack driver. Which is crazy considering the bore, and that it is a shotgun. (of course on initial sight in years ago I was shooting groups, this was just a conformation it was still sighted in)
