Savage 220 Reviews (New version with adjustable stock)

[BHC]

I got 13 more boxes of 3" vortex  coming soon

I bought this gray laminated thumbhole 220 from a member on this site, still in the box, with a Vortex scope. Changed to a Leupold VX6 CDS ZL2 2-12 with Leupold rings. Sent the 3" Remington Barnes Expander ballistics to Leupold for the custom range adjustment cap. Definitely a tack driver as others have mentioned. Sighted dead on at 125 yards. Will be taking it to Illinois next week on its maiden voyage.

I bought 10 from Buds and another 10 from Heritage Guild. Thanks for the heads up on both.

When you guys say tack driver what do you mean?

I have the 220 and am using remington accutips. My group from bench at 100 yards is like 3 inches

I believe you can tighten that up

you are probably right... i was sighting in last year and this is what i ended up with. I will check out the barnes vortx and see what they can do.. when i find them

my buddy was having trouble from a dead sled with the hornady's

My Savage and only speaking for mine....Accutips 3" and the Barnes 3" shot the same.....but in my opinion the Barnes is far superior round on game

Sight in at 50 yards get the groups as tight as you can,  be about 3" high that would put your at 170 yard zero
