Well, because I like Savages, and the fact that I still use a smooth bore 12 gauge 870 with rifle sights for deer, I decided its time to get a new slug gun. I like the weight, balance, and feel of the 220F (other than the cheap plastic stock). I bought a Weaver 2.5-10 Buck Commander/V-Series scope for it already, and Lightweight Talley Extended mounts. I need to hear everyone's tips and tricks for these, having never owned a rifled slug gun before these grossly expensive sabot slugs are new to me :-[

I hear some people saying locally that these guns won't shoot well with any 2 3/4" slugs, yet others that swear the SST is all you need out of a 20 gauge rifle. . . .

How should I expect this gun to shoot? My Wingmaster does easy 2.5" groups at 100 with sluggers (yes sluggers) and Breneke KO's and Classic Magnums. . .
