Like the topic says, Savage 220, bolt action 20 gauge, laminate stock.
Tossed the factory Tupperware, and bedded the bbl action into a Boyd's laminate stock. Stock is salt and pepper.
Shoots the 260 Remington accutips well under 2".
One piece base also included.
About 30 rounds down the bbl.
Going a different direction for Ohio, Illinois, etc.
$535 shipped Conus.

I'll bet Remington AccuTips would cut those groups in half. It does in mine and other Savage 220s I've seen. Bump for an excellent freezer filler.

5 shot group with 3" Remington accutips. First 4 were just over 1 inch, 5th one opened up. Bbl was heating up, should have stopped after 3, but you get the idea. Not bad for a slug gun. Tony

The laminate stock makes a huge difference in the feel of the gun.
Factory stock was the typical POS tupperware special....
Add a scope, sight it in and you're ready to rock.

Not right now.
Boyd's is selling them, then send it a Smith along with $100 to get it bedded.
You can't buy the gun + stock for what I am asking.

Nice gun. Just curious, what direction are you going for hunting in those states? Muzzleloader or another slug gun?

I need to check out the ballistics on that round I guess. What do you think effective range will be?
