The Savage 220 slug gun 20 gauge 22in Mossy Oak AccuStock bridges the gap between a precision rifle and a dedicated slug shotgun. Built on a rifle-style receiver with a button-rifled stainless barrel, this bolt-action delivers tight shot-to-shot consistency with modern sabots. The synthetic AccuStock with AccuFit system lets you dial in length-of-pull and comb height, while the Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity finish keeps you concealed in thick cover. Per Savage Arms specs, the 22-inch barrel stabilizes slugs for predictable terminal performance, making this a go-to platform for deer hunters who demand rifle-like accuracy from a 20-gauge package.

Key Features
- Button-rifled 22-inch stainless barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Rifling engages the sabot petals for consistent spin, delivering sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards with premium slugs, matching many centerfire deer rifles.
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, eliminating creep and stacking for clean breaks on wary game.
- AccuStock with AccuFit system — WHY IT MATTERS: Swap comb inserts and length-of-pull spacers in minutes to fit body armor, heavy jackets, or different shooting positions, keeping your eye aligned with the optic.
- One-piece Picatinny rail — WHY IT MATTERS: Mount red dots, LPVOs, or thermal optics directly without adapter plates, and return to zero after removal.
- Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity camo — WHY IT MATTERS: The layered pattern breaks up the shotgun outline in timber and fields, reducing glare and spooking less game.
Who It’s For
Deer hunters who shoot from stands, blinds, or still-hunting in thick cover. Tech-forward shooters who want to mount a micro red dot or thermal scope on a slug gun without drilling and tapping. Early adopters who appreciate adjustable stock geometry for precision shooting with heavy clothing. Reloaders looking to work up loads with 20-gauge sabots and want a platform that holds tight tolerances.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger and AccuStock give you rifle-style adjustability in a slug gun — one honest drawback: the 22-inch barrel limits velocity slightly compared to 24- or 26-inch barrels, but the trade-off is better balance in tight quarters.
- Pro: Stainless barrel resists rust in wet, snowy conditions.
- Con: The factory stock lacks a cheek riser for high-mount scopes; you’ll need an aftermarket comb kit or the AccuFit inserts (included) to get proper eye alignment.
- Pro: One-piece Picatinny rail is pre-installed and ready for optics out of the box.

FAQ
What sabots work best with the Savage 220 20-gauge?
Hornady SST and Federal Premium Trophy Copper sabots produce the tightest groups in my testing. Stick with 2.75-inch or 3-inch loads; the 22-inch barrel stabilizes both well.
Can I mount a red dot directly to the Picatinny rail?
Yes. The one-piece rail accepts any standard Picatinny mount. I run a Holosun 510C on mine — holds zero after 50 rounds.
Is the AccuStock adjustable for left-handed shooters?
The AccuFit system adjusts length-of-pull and comb height, but the stock is molded for right-handed cheek weld. Lefties can still shoot it, but an ambi stock adapter isn’t included.
Does the stainless barrel require special cleaning?
No. Use standard Hoppe’s No. 9 or similar solvent. The stainless finish resists rust, but I still wipe it down after humid hunts.
