I'll call back in another week or so to see whats happening.


Did they tell you what caused the defect? I had to go look at the bore in my 220 when I read this but it's smooth and shiny. Almost looks like it's in the raw material for the barrel

Received the gun back visually the barrel looks great.
Gave it a good cleaning and adding titanium bolt and Zeiss 3x12 scope.
Will check accuracy this weekend.

Good luck with it. I have a savage 220 and love it. I got a 4 point this summer crop damage with it. From my ground blind 125 yards. Dropped in its tracks.

I shoot the 220 AccuTip slugs and it appears that various on-line sellers have some in stock.

All the Accutips in 12g are 3" at Cabelas.
Just an FYI

While I was there today asked to see another 212 on the rack....had the rifling damage like mine did.
I told the guy behind the counter, he shrugged and put the rifle back on the rack.

Glad you got it back in time for the season! I shoot the 3" out of my 220. They don't group quite as well as the 2 3/4" but I ran into a dealer that had a bunch in stock a few years ago and grabbed 10 boxes.

Test the gun at the range Sunday.
First 3 shots all were touching one another like a 3 leaf clover at 50y.
Used the Brenneke Red Magic slugs.

Very happy with the performance.

Good to hear. I have an old original one that has been good. Can't wait to sell it and never have to shoot it again.
