Savage 220

[Swichback]

Interested in getting a new slug gun for white tail deer hunting in shot gun only zones.

Interested in a savage 220 and pairing it with a 1x6 scope for close to medium range shots. Any tips on achieving the best precision out of this gun? With the cost sabot slugs, I'm thinking of using cheaper ammo for practice rounds during off season and then siting in the rifle with my hunting rounds come time for hunting season. Will this mess with the rifles accuracy? is it worth the hassle?

Whatever you do don’t bolt the gun quickly, they will jam.
I hit a 160-170 ” on OH public years ago, he was coming down a hill towards me and I shot right under his chest and hit his back leg, I bolted the rifle quick and the gun jammed as the deer hobbled down to 5 yards and then kept going as the gun wouldn’t cycle.
