So this is my current project. Guess what it its???
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

Well its not that "Cool" of a cartridge.


OK I cant handle it anymore. I dont want to build you guys up to let ya down

Savage 220F 20ga slug gun
Mcmillan Brand spankin new (Just for the 220F) M40 stock 70% black 15% OD green 15% med brown
EGW 20MOA base (recommended from Savage)
Burris Zee Rings
Nikon M223 scope
Kampfeld Fluted bolt body and coated
and a SSS Varmit spring (Which im currently going to get a Rifle Basix trigger cause the Accutrigger SUCKS)

So its not some Long range super cartrige like the Norma but definatly trying to make a very accurate slug gun. This stock just arrived 2 days ago and I think its really going to help over the tupperware stock it came with.
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

If the "Joplin" is up to it Im going to send it to him for a bedding job and have him recut a crown on it.

Not to be ignorant but this is the only savage I own. What other little things can be done to help accuracy? Can the lugs be lapped?
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

No need, floating bolt head keeps the contact even.
I don't know if it would do anything to check the threads and trueness of the lock nut face, and a better recoil lug couldn't hurt.

What is the accuray potential of a 20ga slug under the best of circumstances? The phrase "diminishing returns" come tomind strongly on this one....
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

Yep I think you may be right. With the old stock on it I could consistantly shoot 1.5" 3 shot groups at 100 yards with Remington Accutips. I would like a crown cut on it. There is no crown on the end of the barrel except for the typical roll over shotgun style crown
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

I thought it was finally time to invest some money into a gun I can kill deer in the state I live in. Should be interesting to see if the stock made a improvment on accuracy
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

Tag.

The Southern portion of Michigan is also shotgun only for deer during gun season. I've been tempted to pick up a 220 as well, just haven't gotten around to it. Keep us informed on how she shoots.
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

They are coming out with a 212 in 12ga. However I beleive its not based on the 110 LA.

Im also thinking 250 yards. If I can get the Core lokts to shoot well I might play at 300 yards. With a 2.0" high at 50 yards there 2.7" high at 100 and 6.6" low at 200. They are a very flat shooting slug
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

I know jack about shotguns...but that's the baddest looking one I've ever seen.
Far as the slugs go, how heavy a slug can that sling- and what accuracy would you expect?
 
Re: Name this GUN????????????

As far as range im hoping it be a conistant 200 yard gun which means 2.5" groups at 200 yards. Probley 250 yards max and I might play at 300. Most your High performance slugs are running 1900fps with a 260gr bullet
