Opinions wanted on savage 220 f does it live up to the hype it has been given from past articles ?

From the few guys and gals that I know around here that have them, they certainly do. A couple have the 212 and a few have the 220. That little 20 gauge doesn't belt the total snot out of them like the 12 does and it is certainly powerful enough for out to around 150 yards. The 12 has a little more gusto to around 200. But that 20 catches my eye with my beat up old shoulder. The ones I've seen at the range are very accurate and for a bolt slugger the action is quite smooth. I'm not a HUGE fan of the accutrigger but it is pretty nice on those sluggers. I don't DISLIKE the accutrigger but I just have a pretty picky attitude when it comes to triggers. I personally think you could do a lot worse than one of those 220's.

Nice shotgun, I bought one last year & love it.

Yes they do. I shoot a Mossberg 695, which is pretty similar. I know a guy with a 212 and he loves it. If it shoots like my 695, you'll love it.

Here's the mossberg at 100 yards. In my opinion, for a slug gun, you can't beat that. And the savage should give you similar results.

What did u use to mount ur scope and what brand of scope did u use

I have the 220 on my "wish list".

Jake - that group is good even for any rifle !!!

I have one and love it savage 110 mounts and bases work on it. I put a redfield 3x9x40 on mine that was taken off something I didn't use as much. This gun is awesome.

Just a word of caution on the 220F look it over and cycle the bolt before you leave the store and have paid for it.
When I was shopping for one the first one the but pad fell off as the employee removed it from the box. The second one the bolt hung up on when cycling it in normal fashion.

I passed and got a pump gun.
