I recently ordered the tactical bolt handle for my 10 ba and love it. Makes chambering seem so much easier.
Now i will put one on my 220f slug gun. Has anyone tried the fluted bolts and or teflon coating.?

Bolt body on these is different than the 110-series rifles and aren't interchangeable. Don't know of anyone offering off-the shelf fluted bolt bodies for these, so you'd have to send yours off to someone who offers the service. Other than looking different it doesn't do anything to improve performance or accuracy, and if it's spiral fluting it could actually cause additional drag depending on the rate of twist of the spiral.

These are critical words for the future fluter of savage bolts. The higher rate of twist is desired if going spiral..
