We both used the same ammo, Lightfield EXP 2-3/4", mine shot better then his. Not knocking Tar-Hunt, but I wouldn't spend the cash he did to have the work with crappy results
IMO the rem 870 tarhunt vs the savage 220 I'd get the 220!
as for the real tar hunt bolt action slug guns...which look like the savage 220 btw, ie a bolt action slug gun... for $2-3k vs. $400??
the tar hunt better shoot better, but do I want to pay 2k more for a gun that might shoot slightly a tad better?? no. if money were no object though, of course, I'm sure finish is nicer too.
as for pimping out a 220, I saw one online, pictures, with a new bolt, and maybe a few other features, I Could see spending a little on some of these features, but definitely would not change much, stock? I don't think so, and especially if it shoots great... I'd fear making it shoot worse! ha.
