Plenty of slug guns are just smoothbore shotguns with a rifled barrel screwed on. The Savage 212 takes the opposite approach. It starts life as a bolt action built the way Savage builds rifles, then gets chambered for 12 gauge slugs. The result is a deer gun that shoots sabot slugs with the kind of consistency you would expect from a centerfire rifle, which is exactly what you want when a shot opportunity shows up at 150 yards instead of 50.
The 22 inch carbon steel barrel is button rifled with a 1 in 35 twist that stabilizes modern sabot slugs, and the 3 inch chamber handles both 2-3/4 and 3 inch loads. Up front of the trigger guard sits Savage's AccuTrigger, which you can tune yourself for a crisp, light pull without a trip to a gunsmith. That matters more on a slug gun than almost anywhere else, since a heavy trigger is the fastest way to throw a shot with a hard-recoiling 12 gauge. An oversized bolt handle makes cycling quick with gloves on, and the detachable box magazine gives you 2+1 capacity with easy loading and unloading.
The synthetic AccuStock wears Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo and features AccuFit adjustability, so you can dial in length of pull and comb height to line your eye up naturally behind a scope. Getting proper cheek weld on a scoped slug gun makes a real difference in both comfort and consistency, especially with stout sabot loads.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped with a one-piece rail already installed, so mounting a scope takes minutes. Pick a quality sabot load, spend a session at the bench finding what the barrel likes, and this gun will reward you. For deer hunters who want honest rifle-style performance out of a 12 gauge, the 212 has earned its reputation as one of the best-shooting slug guns you can put in the truck.
This is where the 212 earns its keep. The button-rifled 22 inch barrel with a 1 in 35 twist is purpose built for sabot slugs, and paired with the adjustable AccuTrigger, many owners get rifle-like groups at 100 yards and beyond. Like any slug gun, it pays to test a few sabot loads to find the one your barrel prefers.
There are no iron sights on the barrel, and no scope is included. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with a one-piece rail already mounted, so all you need to add is rings and the optic of your choice. A quality shotgun or low-power rifle scope is the most popular setup on this gun.
It is designed specifically for sabot slugs. The barrel is fully rifled, so shot loads will pattern poorly and rifled or Foster-style slugs will not perform as well as sabots. Stick with quality sabot ammunition in 2-3/4 or 3 inch and this gun will do its best work.
Yes. The synthetic AccuStock features Savage's AccuFit system, which lets you adjust both length of pull and comb height to fit your build and your optic. That custom fit helps you get a consistent cheek weld behind the scope, which improves accuracy and makes recoil from heavy slug loads easier to manage.
