Savage 220

[Tysonhunter]

Not really a question, but picked up a gun I have drooled over since I was a much younger man before straight wall and rifles were introduced. I have absolutely no need for it other than I could never afford earlier in life and always wanted one so now I have it. Came topped with a nikon slughunter scope and few boxes of slugs. Stainless barrel, camo stock, and accu trigger. Guess next season I will need to break it in! =) Now I need to decide if I am adding to the safe or moving something to take room, LOL I am much better at buying guns than I am at selling them.

I had one for a while before the straight wall cartridge came into play. Sold it to a member here and picked up the .450 bushmaster and never looked back.
Shot a lot of deer with the 220. But something about a rifle just seemed better….
Good luck with the 220. What sabots are you shooting with it?

I bought a plain jane, all black 220 off @WoodCoDep a few years back and I absolutely love it. It likes the Hornady SSTs the best, but will shoot Browning BXS slugs pretty well also.

I've been hunting deer with a shotgun for 35 years at this point (hurts to say that) and I've killed deer with 5 or 6 different setups from .410, to 20s and 12s. That 220 is my favorite "one shot, one kill" slug gun. I also built an 1187 in 20 gauge that I will carry when driving. It's my "spray and pray" gun
