Range Today
 

Went to the range with three firearms

At 100 yards is the Savage 220 using Remington Accutip 3"

Next, at 80 yards is the Remington 1187 20ga also Remington Accutip 3"

Last is my Thompson Center Triumph, also at 80 yards using Barnes T-EZ, and two pellets of Triple 7 Magnums.

First group was to the left of the red, the 2nd just above the 1st group, last group to the right of it

I'm thinking them deer are in trouble no matter what you grab...

Looking good that's for sure! I love the savage 220 mine drives tacks as well

Are the savage 220's finicky about what you feed them?

I've got a Mossberg 695. It loves Remington Accutips. I know that doesn't really help, but it'll shoot accutips better than some of my rifles shoot. For a slug gun it can't be beat.

the savage 220 has been tested by the savage themselves with Remington Accutips and Federal Vital Shok

I found the Accutips to have the edge on the Vital Shoks, also when it comes to the 20ga I find that the 3" will shoot better then the 2-3/4" once you get to about 100 yards or further

12ga, I will say use the 2-3/4", the 3" is just adding recoil to your shoulder

My 220 likes the Accutips also! Nice slug guns!

That's some good shooting. But I know those ain't plinking guns. I imagine those 3" slugs aren't fun to shoot of the bench.

I really don't mind it

The 20 gauge 3" slugs aren't anywhere near as punishing as the 12 gauge Mr. Bronkowski. And those Savage slug guns are fairly heavy so the recoil isn't all that bad with either one. Alex's 870 20 gauge slug barrel really liked those Accutips. I honestly don't think I have heard of anyone shooting them with a complaint in accuracy. Seems Remington hit a home run with that design.

Savage 220 is light in weight

I see a dead deer in your future.
