First, a short review of my new 220F 20ga slug gun. It's short for reasons I'll get into in a bit. I opted for the camo model only b/c I would have painted the black stock anyway....saved me the time and money (duracoat ain't cheap) it would have taken to paint.

I added a Warne once piece rail, Burris Sig. Zee rings and a Nikon Slughunter 3-9x40 w/bdc. Overall, the package is light, shoulders great and feels just like a rifle. That's a huge change from the slug guns I'm used to.

Fit and finish are good. The camo stock has a nice finish that does seem to hide the mold lines. Can't really say the mold lines are better on this stock but they aren't as noticeable due to the camo. Accu-trigger is absolutely fabulous on a slug gun!! I mean FABULOUS! The oversize bolt handle is nice too.

The magazine is okay. I would have preferred a metal one but it works and it's light. Feeding was perfect from the mag but you do have to put the rear in and rock the mag forward and up to seat it. Not an issue once you get used to it.

Extraction was well....less than stellar. As long as you work the bolt like you mean it, it's fine. I also had a slight issue with fired shells hitting my front scope ring. I think a quick reposition of the front ring should solve that.

Now for accuracy and a cry for help:

Accuracy was okay. Nothing to write home about but I only got a chance to shoot Rem 2 3/4" Copper solids and the new Accu-tip. I had failure to fires with Winchester Dual bonds and Hornady SST's. At first, I thought the trigger might have been set too low. A quick change produced the same results....no boom.

At this point I'm thinking the Winchester ammo might be the culprit....tried another shell. Still no boom. Tired the Hornady SST's and still no boom. I'm getting frustrated so I go back to the Remington Copper Solid...BOOM! Hmmm......Throw in a Remington Accu-tip......BOOM, three times in a row.

The accu-tips shot very well too! Obviously, I've got an issue. I came back in a measured the firing pin protrusion. I got .031"

Overall, I'm happy with the gun. I think it'll shoot well and once I get this issue resolved, it'll get bedded and I'll try some 3" ammo along with the remaining 2 3/4" stuff I already have.

****Does anyone know what the firing pin spec should be on the 220F?
