Hi
First post here. I'm going to hunt Ohio this year & thinking of buying a 220F. If I buy it I'm going to get a Nikon SlugHunter 3-9X40 200BDC. What bases & rings would u recommend & ammo. I see the remingtons seem to be shooting good.

Thanks Bill

A quality one piece rail (long action w/accutrigger) and high Burris sig zee rings

best in mine so far are the Remington 2 3/4" accutips

While shooting at the range, go slow. Barrel heat can damage sabots and groups will suffer

I put a Warne Tactical one piece rail on mine. They can be kinda pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

here is the Warne at midway:

Another option for less $$$ EGW:

And yes, you'll want high rings with either of them. You have to keep the scope high enough off the firearm so the spent shells don't hit the scope.

This months Riflman has an excellent article on sabot slugs and it looks like the Remington is what I consider the best. I put a fixed power scope on mine, your realy dont need a 9 power for the ranges you will be shooting. 4x works vor me, Weaver K-4 I had laying around. fixed power ar also more rugged.
