I saw on another site that Savage is bringing out a bolt action 20 gauge slug gun.

Thought some of you might be interested.....

Sounds like agreat gun. I am a 110 fan so this is right up my alley.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

None that I've either seen or heard about.  I'm quite sure Savage will sell all they manufacture.  Lots of people looking for them.

On the Savage website, it says that it is chambered for 3" shells, does this mean that 2 3/4" are not going to work in that gun?

I recently bought a 210F, they are 12ga, and chambered for 3" slugs.
I haven't shot it yet, but was told you can shoot 2 3/4" slugs but may have trouble feeding them from the magazine.
I also am interested in the 220 if it makes it out by deer season.
Please let me know your experience with these 3" chambered guns.

I am thinking about getting one of the 220's.  I hope they come out sooner than later.

This would make a great deer rifle...er ah shotgun...for the short range weapon seasons.  I could see picking one of these up.  Can't wait to hear how they shoot, with the accutrigger and some good bedding they should be quite accurate.

I just spoke with Kathy in the sales dept at Savage.  She told me the gun will be available in September, she couldn't give me a specific date, just that they will ship in September.
