I've never been a fan of shotguns. My background is in long-range shooting in the Army. Naturally, when I got out, I preferred rifles. Last fall, my buddy and I were at the range zeroing our weapons for deer season. After completing our zeroes, we swapped weapons for a few rounds. I was had my Model 700 in .30-06 and he had his Savage 220F. Three rounds touching at 100 yd the first time I touched the gun. I bought it from him that day and dropped 5 deer and a black bear with it last fall, all dropped where they stood. I'll most likely never hunt with the 700 again, as most areas around here at SG only. I've shot 12ga weapons back-to-back with this 220F with the 220 coming out on top every time. Recoil is half that of a 12ga and the accuracy is better due to the low recoil.
