absolutly right!!! i find it pretty funny when i hear guys say they can hit a pie plate at 50yrds and say there good to go for the season! those guys are usually the noise makers of the woods!
alittle more bench time with the Savage i should be shooting 1inch 3shot groups at 100yds without a problem.. pretty impressed with the group with the Federals.. might try the 3in accutips once more as the 2 "flyers" could of been me? or the wind? more range time will tell
i think this still be my fav slug gun that i own tho
H&R Ultra Slug Hunter 20ga
its a tack driver!
ill get some pics of the groups next time i hit the range
Well finally got to put some rounds through my new Savage 220.. winds were alil more than i like 10mph and swirling. but with most of my fav steelhead streams frozen i needed to do something on my day off. just did some testing to see what slug was gunna shoot the best out of it... fine tuning will come at a later time
after getting it on the paper at 50yds i backed off to 100yds and started to let them fly
SST 2 3/4'' 3shot group
Federal 3'' Barnes Expander Tipped 3shot group
and then added 2 more to it
Remington 3'' Accu-Tips 3shot group
added 2 more to it
Remington Copper Solids 2 3/4'' 3shot group
Remington 2 3/4'' Accu-Tip 3shot group
added 2 more to it
Overall the gun shoots and feels great.. This is my first savage and the accu-trigger is great didnt do any adjustment to it... tested some other slugs as well but the results werent good ... Savage was right on the mark with suggesting the Rem accutips and Federals!
Slippery Sinker in Olcott did have them the other day... its Ice season most bait places should have Emeralds... Feather and Fur Baitshop in Wilson also reported they had them as well
eggs, kwikfish, minnows, pink worms, yarn flies.. blah blah... pretty much anything that catchs steelhead in the tribs will get u fish on the niagara...
not to sure why people get hung up on what model reads faster or slower.. the point of the unit is to reproduce the same speed your catching fish at.... to each his own i guess... i prefer the DR myself
the dots were very good for us as well on the west end.... it really didnt seem to matter what color we put in the water.. the fish were everywhere and hungry!
