Savage Arms 220 Slug 22" 20 Gauge Slug Gun Bolt Action, Matte Black – 57377

I purchased a Savage 220 3 years ago. I bought the camo scope combo. With minor sighting in I have nothing but good to say about the gun! Upon reading some reviews on ammo I chose the Remington Accutip 3". Target practice out to 150 - 200 yards was amazing! I couldn't believe the groups I was able to attain with a shotgun! Since purchasing, I've shot 3 deer with them. None of them going more than 30 yards after the shots and all complete pass through shots. I have never shot with such confidence with a shotgun and look forward to many more years hunting with this gun!

I really like the gun but the Weaver scope that comes with the gun is junk. I took it out hunting and I had a hard time finding the deer in the scope. She was in a little patch of small trees and it took me a while to figure out my shot placement. I will be replacing the scope before I use it again. I have tried all types of ammunition and everyone requires you to "Man Handle" the bolt when ejecting the ammo. As long as you remember this the gun works perfectly.

I have been hunting deer for over 30 years. I started out with the old slug guns and yes I did bag my fair share of deer with the old standby.As soon as Savage put this new style slug shotgun on the market I was lucky enough to try one. I shot both the 12 and 20. I found for the type of hunting I do, I live in MA, yes that anti firearm state, the 20 gauge was plenty powerful enough and actually seemed more accurate. I used a Nikon scope and at 100 yards was getting 1.5 inch groups off the bench. My first time out with this shotgun I was able to take down a deer on my second day out. The slug passed clear through the deer dropping it in its tracks. Since then I have bagged over 10 deer with this slug gun. 5 stars isn't enough IMO

I bought a 212 last year after 30 years of putting a slug barrel on a bird gun every fall. Out of the box the action was very tight and shells wouldn't eject. The clip was very hard to engage to the gun. I had to hit it pretty hard to get it to click in place. After 40 rounds to sight in the new scope, the action softened up but it would not eject shells at all. I spent a lot of time understanding how it should eject and figured out the ejector pin that is supposed to make the shell kick out of the action was installed upside-down. I called Savage and they just wanted me to send the gun to them for service. I didn't have time for that before deer season so I disassembled the gun and turned the ejector pin over. It now works fine.It turns out the upside-down ejector pin was also the reason for the clip not inserting properly. Very disappointing to see such poor quality control from Savage but I am happy with the gun now.

Bought it at end of last season, put it in a case and put it away. Brought it out to sight it in just this month and while it is very accurate, it WILL NOT feed from the magazine. Called Savage arms and they sent me a new magazine - still won't feed. Tried 2 different shell brands. I'll try one more then it's going back to cabelas.

This is why I gave up on savage fire arms. I bought the 220 for my new property this year on 09/19/2019. The reviews were good so I spent the money on it. I took it out two days ago to site it in at the range and immediately it wouldn’t feed rounds into the chamber. It does shoot accurately but again it doesn’t feed they hang up high. I tried 3 different types of shells. Do they even have Quality control and test these guns. I found it interesting when I went on Cabela’s web site and found the most recent review with the same problem. Now I have to send it in to a gun smith, they offered me a new magazine but that’s what they gave the last guy.

Just bought a 220 XP last month. The gun comes with weaver base & scope, I want to replace the base by DNZ Game Reaper. After removed the weaver scpoe & rings, I found that all 4 base screws were stripped. The 2 screws of front base were "full" stripped, just like hole. The 2 screws of rear base were "half" stripped, bottom still fit 3/32" hex key. The front ring screw was a little bit stripped and a scratch on receiver but It doesn't matter.

At first the rounds were getting stuck in the receiver it will not load the 3rd round, then after about 10 - 15 shots i tried again and is working perfect, now it load the 3rd round very smooth, I love this gun...

The rating would be zero. I tried to purchase a firearm online and was still calling on that firearm a month and a half later to be told " we have no idea where it is" . No emails or phone calls they just let it go. Never purchase another online through them.

I bought this 3 months ago and my background check still has not cleared. I bought 2 other guns since and cleared just fine. The store screwed up my background check. I am still waiting 50 days later.

I bought this about a month before the IL shotgun season. I purchased the 20 gauge with the rail to mount a scope. The local BPS didn't have a scope available for a shotgun but I remembered I friend of mine mention he had one that he wanted to sell. It took me a while to get it sighted in since I didn't have much experience using a scope, but eventually I figured it out. This was the fourth year I've bow hunted, but was going to be my first shotgun deer hunt since 1973 when I was a senior in high school. Once season opened on Nov. 20, it lasted all of 27 minutes when an 11 point buck walked in front of me. One shot with my new 220 Savage and he went about 30 yards before going down. I can't say enough good things about this gun.

This gun is a tack driver. Groups less than 1" at 100 yards. Can't wait to get to a range to shoot at longer distances. I have never been able to shoot slugs out of a shotgun with this accuracy.

Picked up gun on Tuesday, took 5 shots to make sure dialed in. Hunted on Thursday and took a nice buck at 110 yards and doe at 90 yards. Light gun with very little recoil....enjoy shooting it! Going to be great gun for 12 year old grandson to shoot.....if I don't keep for myself :)

Haven't shot it yet, just found ammo. Can't wait to sight it In this weekend. I PAIRed a 2x7 vortex on it.

Super exited. I’ve been waiting for one of these for a while and it’s everything I hoped for. Accurate, Light, Sleek and clean design, Smooth action. You can get these things to shoot out to 200yds pretty easy.

Get staff helped w the order, was a better price than I found online and didn't have to pay for the FFL.

Great shotgun! Weight is right and balanced, operation is good and it’s accurate. Great gun fir the money. I harvested my first blacktail with this gun and it was my first shotgun harvest of a deer.

Outstanding performance and value; reliable action, balances well, shoots straight, weather proof and hits hard...it made an instant humane kill on a big trophy whitetail buck last season (2021) with just a single 2 3/4" Hornady slug. My hunting buddy was so impressed, he bought one the next day!

I bought this gun to hunt in a shotgun only area, and so far I love it. Deadly accurate running 275 grain 2 3/4 Trophy Coppers. It's not just accurate for a slug gun, it's accurate for a bolt gun.

The quality is what you would expect from Savage. Hoping to find a high quality slug to pair it with.
