The Savage Arms 220 Slug Gun delivers dedicated slug performance with precision engineering specifically designed for left-handed shooters. This 20-gauge platform combines the proven AccuStock system with AccuFit technology to provide consistent accuracy and customizable fit for serious slug hunters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike modified bird guns pressed into slug duty, the 220 features a dedicated slug barrel with 1:24 twist rate optimized for sabot slugs. The AccuStock's aluminum bedding block eliminates flex between the action and stock, while the free-floating barrel maintains consistent point of impact. AccuFit technology allows length-of-pull and comb height adjustment without gunsmithing, accommodating shooters from 12.5" to 13.5" length of pull.
Key Features
- Left-hand bolt action with 2-round detachable box magazine
- 22-inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel with matte black finish
- AccuStock with aluminum bedding block and AccuFit adjustment system
- Drilled and tapped receiver ready for scope mounting
- 3-inch chamber handles both 2.75" and 3" slug loads
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger with 2.5-6 pound pull weight range
- Matte black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to consistently group sabot slugs under 2 inches at 100 yards when properly scoped. The dedicated slug barrel's rifling stabilizes modern sabot projectiles for extended range capability beyond traditional smoothbore limitations. Weather-resistant synthetic components handle harsh hunting conditions while the detachable magazine enables quick reloads during driven hunts or follow-up shots on wounded game.
