My Savage 220 Experience

[LittleM]

I bought one back in February and just had the time to shoot it for the first time today.  I had three brands of 2 3/4" slugs:  Remington Accutips, Lightfields, and some Federals.  I shot a total of twelve times.  I had no issues with ejections at all.  I was really worried about that, given all I have heard/read, but there were no issues.  I racked the bolt firmly but not super hard.  I  started with the Accutips.  After a few shots at 25 yards, I moved the target back to about 100 yards and had real good results.  Then, just for the heck of it, I shot the Lightfields.  Much tighter group and, I think more accurate.  Then I remembered that the fellas at Simon Peters told me that they had real good results with Lightfields, as well.  I never even bothered to shoot the Federals.  What I relief.  I think I love that gun already.  Bring on bear season.

Happy your love this shotgun, they are great!!!   If you can find yourself a few boxes of the 3" Accutips, I think you will be surprised how accurate it is maybe not so much within 100yds but over 100yds...

I hope the bears cooperate so that you get a chance to break in the new gun.
