I have 1. I took it out of that hollow plastic stock and replaced with a boyds laminate. Have a Redfield 2-7 on it and that has to go just have trouble seeing through it, I am going to use a 6x I have sitting here.
Tried every type of slug on the market for it, results went from wow to that don't work. The best were the Rem. solid copper just under an 1" at 100 but at $4.50 a shot I started looking for something else, Federal( not the Fussion) shot around an 1" and the Lightfeilds were a close second(very close).
Helped a young kid yesterday at the range and all he wanted to use was the Rem. accu-tip and the tightest group was around 2.5" at 100.
All of these are with 2 3/4 shells and if my memory serves me Savage uses 3" for their accuracy load.
My advice is buy all different types of slugs and see what works the best for you then stock up on them. Don't forget to try the foster style .
