Slug guns earned a rough reputation over the years, mostly because so many of them were smoothbore field guns with a rifled barrel bolted on as an afterthought. The Savage 220 takes the opposite approach. It's built like a bolt action rifle from the ground up, with a free-floated, button-rifled 22 inch carbon steel barrel spinning at a 1:24 twist that stabilizes sabot slugs the way they were meant to fly. The 3 inch chamber handles 2-3/4 inch shells just as happily, and the 2-round detachable box magazine plus one in the pipe gives you a quick follow-up when a buck doesn't drop where he stood.
The AccuStock with AccuFit is where this gun separates itself from older slug guns. Swappable comb risers and length-of-pull inserts let you set the stock up for proper eye alignment behind a scope, which matters a lot when you're touching off 3 inch slug loads. A stock that fits right spreads recoil better and keeps your cheek weld consistent shot to shot. The AccuTrigger is the same user-adjustable design that built Savage's accuracy reputation, so you can dial the pull down to something crisp instead of living with a heavy factory trigger.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped with a one-piece rail already installed, so mounting glass is a ten minute job. The oversized bolt handle runs easily with gloves or numb fingers, sling swivel studs come standard, and the whole package weighs in at a manageable 7.34 pounds with a 43 inch overall length that carries well through thick cover. The synthetic stock wears Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo and shrugs off the rain, snow, and mud that always seem to show up in November.
Pair this 20 gauge with quality sabot slugs, spend an afternoon finding the load it likes, and you'll have a deer gun that stretches your effective range well past what most people expect from a shotgun.
With quality sabot slugs and a decent scope, the 220 is known for shooting groups that rival many centerfire rifles at 100 yards. Hunters regularly report clean kills well past that distance. Like any slug gun, it will show a preference for certain loads, so try a few brands of sabots to find what your barrel likes best.
The 220 has a fully rifled barrel, so it's built for sabot slugs, not rifled slugs designed for smoothbores. The 3 inch chamber accepts both 2-3/4 and 3 inch shells. Premium 20 gauge sabot loads from makers like Federal, Hornady, and Remington tend to deliver the best downrange performance.
It ships optic ready with no iron sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with a one-piece rail already installed, so all you need are rings and the scope of your choice. Most hunters pair it with a 2-7x or 3-9x scope built to handle slug gun recoil.
Recoil is noticeably softer than a 12 gauge slug gun, which is a big reason the 20 gauge 220 is so popular. At 7.34 pounds with a rubber recoil pad and a stock you can fit to your frame, it's comfortable enough for extended range sessions. The AccuFit adjustments help you get proper stock fit, which goes a long way toward taming felt recoil.
