I have the mossberg 695 bolt action slug gun and love it. I'm really starting to hate the recoil though. I've been looking at savage's 20 gauge for a while and like what I see so far. What if any opinions do you guys have on it? Found a Guy who has one for sale that is a steal.

Get a PCR and really reduce you recoil, cost of ammo, and maybe even your misses! It's hard to shoot accurately with a bad flinch!

It'll be used for Ohio too so the Pcr wont do me much good.

I once had a 12 gauge Savage M-210 in 12 gauge. Recoil was very heavy for my taste. I sold it and bought a Browning Gold 20 gauge slug gun, with 2-7x33mm Leupold scope, which is very accurate & has plenty of power to drop a Deer. In my Browning, Remington's Buckhammers seem to deliver the best accuracy.

The only draw back I see with them is the box mag stick out of the stock. All the reports Ive read from guys that own then are good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at a good price. h.h. |

These new bolt action slug shotguns are all fine, and a vast improvment over the old smooth bore one firing Foster slugs. The only drawback is the cost of ammo. For five shells you may have to pay between $12 to $17 depending on brand. BTW, when I check-out Randy Wakeman website, my computer said it was an unsafe site, so be careful.  |

He does have a lot of ads on there. Possible that some are using spyware. I've never had any issues on my iMac or iPad though. Also check out the Chuck Hawks website (Randy's reviews are on there too), but it does charge a membership fee. $4.95 for 30 days of access I think. I usually pony up and read the reviews on there when I'm considering a new firearm. |

I've read on a slug shooting board that several folks are having misfire issues with the 220. If you want a link to that site, shoot me a pm.

I have the 220F and used it for the first time this deer season. Dropped one at 220 yards with it and killed another at 175. I use the Remington Accutip which run 11.99 a box.

Sounds like a boltface or extractor problem to me or they are using a bolt made for a 12 gauge shell. I'm not sure what it is. The thread blames everything from improper use of the accu-trigger, to rim thickness of the slugs, to hard primers, to weak firing pin springs. My understanding is that Savage is replacing the springs. |

The most common cause of mis-fires with the Accutrigger is the shooter not pulling squarely on the trigger and disengaging the sear safety. They pull on the side of the trigger and this causes the sear safety to do its job and stop the firing pin from falling.
Another problem with Accutriggers is not having the bolt closed all the way down. This cause light primer strikes. h.h.

I never cared very much for Accutriggers. I like adjustable regular triggers instead.

The Accutrigger is the best factory trigger available on a production gun. The problems I listed above are shooter error. h.h.

Very few have any problems with accutriggers. Accutriggers can adjust from 1.5 lbs up by the owner, no gunsmith needed. No other factory production rifle or shotgun can do this.
Do you own one or even shot one? They are the best factory trigger available. h.h.

I didn't really care for it, but that's just my opinion. I rather have an old style trigger that can be adjusted. |
