i dedicated my 870 to my slug gun. hastings barrel and nikon 3x9. i wanted the ithaca deerslayer 3 but thats over a grand.. then savage came out with the 220f and now i really want one. its only a 20 gauge but they are talking 200 yards with this gun and the accutrigger is amazing. i have it on my 93v17 and i love it. i would like to get my 870 barrel pinned but not sure if i can but you can never have enough guns so if i can pin my barrel ill do it because after $200 in slugs i finally have a real nice gun that i finally found some ammo she likes. i took a buck at 173 yards with my setup using partition golds and he dropped instantly. i def want a 220f and will get one as soon as i can
