Savage 220F

There is a lot of drop at 200 yards, I did shoot a few shots at 200 and if I remember right they were perfectly inline but just low, I didn't measure but I'd guess under a 2" group. Personally I'll likely never hunt out to 200 yds with the 20 ga...

I used the EGW base that is made for this gun, gives lots of adjustment. I would never mount a scope high, I always try to mount them as close to the bbl and in your line of sight as possible. I lopped the front part of the base off (it's pointless to me) and used a Low Burris Zee Ring, to hold the Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. I was able to get the scope back far enough, low enough and have never had any ejection issues.

As far as what I paid, I'm going to be honest and say I don't remember.. But I'm pretty sure it was in the mid 400 range, was just retail price.. Hard to find so I didn't argue..
