Savage 212/220 XP Bolt-Action Slug Shotgun with Scope Combo with TrueTimber Strata – 20 Gauge

Ordered shotgun and salesman and I opened box and shotgun was wrong camo, not a deal breaker, was told accufit parts were in box when I asked when I got home went to fit and no accufit parts. I know now I should have checked. Went back with firearm and salesperson was very helpful with missing parts. Scope ring nuts were marred and scope was snug but not tight . My buddy and I both bought same shotgun and went to range to sight in and had problems with shells ejecting (catching on ejection port) and feeding. Magazine has to be installed hard . Read on blogs that the bolt has to be man handled both ejecting and feeding for it to work well, not good if you have a follow up shot or a second deer.

Fantastic gun that came highly recommended by a close friend. Have been very happy with it so far. The only issue I have is the complete lack of any available ammunition. Waited over a year for 220 to become available again and ammunition is even more of a challenge.

I bought the gun last fall. Just got ammo. Went to the range and on my first shot something in the scope broke. Now you only see broken glass when you look in it. I have emailed both Bass Pro and Savage. Waiting to see what the outcome will be.

I’ve read many articles on this shotguns accuracy. I’ve searched for many months trying to locate one to purchase and finally in Ohio i found one. I mounted a Cabelas slug gun scope on it. I killed an Illinois mature buck at 250 yards. YES I ranged it 2x and it was a 250 yard shot. I aimed high in the shoulder and dropped the big buck in his tracks. The magazine and bolt is stiff and does need some man handling but clearly one shot is all that’s needed due to its accuracy.

Bought this gun in Aug 2022. Pretty descent quality firearm. As expected needed some finetuning : clean from old grease the bolt, barrel, chamber (a must). After that adjust trigger pull and buttstock length and comb (with supplied extra spacers and additional comb inserts is pretty cool) and you get a good gun for your next trip. Found the 2 3/4" shell feeding from magazine into the chamber is being a bit rough and might need some break-in period however the 3" shells feed flowless.

The gun performs and shoots better than expected. The scope that comes on it is decent at best, I swapped out to a vortex and it I'm shooting 1-inch groups at 100 yards.

This gun is very accurate. I got the gun a week before deer season, sited it in and shot a deer 100yrds out.

I bought this gun ten years ago and have shot ten deer using 2 boxes of shells. It’s a tack driver out to 200 yards. Most of my shots have been around 100-150 yards. Longest was 200. I’m in shotgun only zone now but would likely take it back to the rifle zone I used to hunt. Cabela’s 3x9 scope. Light weight and no kick. Best gun I’ve ever owned.
