Default Savage 220 slug error...

It appears savage says this thing is a sabot slug gun, but it's a rifle I tell ya!

Finally got a chance to shoot it, still need to try 1 other load, but this load is already WAY better/tighter than any slug gun I've ever shot.

And oh baby is a 20ga no pain at all too shoot!

Was shooting the federal barnes expander tipped, gonna try some rem accutip when I can find them somewhere, out of stock everywhere, online, in person, etc...

I was looking for a rifled barrel for my 1100 last year and the guy at the gun shop was showing me some groups that he shot with his 220. It was incredible.

I've always have hated slug guns!

Have always shot 12gauges, mostly rem 1100's, all loads, rifled barrels,

I call BS from most guys saying how great their slugs shoot, and usually 3" at a100yds from a 12ga rifled barrel sounds "awesome" and honestly if I hit a pie plate at a 100yds I'd say you were doing well/average.

I think this thing will easily do 1-2" groups at 100yds!

Very excited to slug hunt for once!

Not to mention the kick on this thing is probably like a .270...aka barely noticeable!

I wish you guys woudl shut up about these 220s. I keep telling myself "you don't need one, you don't need one." But you guys are definately not helping.

Bronko, I have the same problem.
I "need" to get a gun for my oldest, she'll be hunting with me in a few years, but I should get it soon, so I have it. This might be the thing to buy.

I think I'm gonna get one just to extend the area I can hunt. Can't wait to get back and get one. Did you get the camo one?

Pretty sure the 110 action it's built on comes in a left hand, and if these keep selling like hot cakes, I'm sure they'll be offering a lefty sometime.

Although with this being the most accurate slug gun out there, all you need is 1 shot get one already! haha.

Pretty sure they make a 220 youth version of this.
