Description
The Savage 212 Ga/220 Harvester 12 Gray is a shotgun chambered in 12 GA with a 22-inch barrel and a 2+1 capacity.
Savage 212 Ga/220 Harvester 12 Gray Overview
The Savage 212 and 220 are bolt action slug guns built on Savage’s rifle know-how, with button-rifled barrels for accuracy with sabot slugs. The Harvester versions are set up for deer hunters who need rifle-like accuracy in shotgun-only areas. Fit matters more with a shotgun than with almost any other firearm, because you point it rather than aim it. Check that the stock length lets you mount the gun smoothly with your eye centered over the rib, and pattern the gun with the chokes and loads you plan to use.
A few trips to the trap or sporting clays field before the season will sharpen your swing and help you learn how the gun handles.
Design and Features
The 212 is 12 gauge and the 220 is 20 gauge. The barrel is button-rifled and free floating, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope, and the detachable box magazine holds two shells. Shells and chokes make a big difference in performance. Match the load to the game, from light target loads for clays to heavier shot for waterfowl and turkey, and pattern the gun at the distances you expect to shoot. Keeping the action and choke threads clean and lightly oiled will keep the gun running reliably for many seasons.
Handling in the Field
These slug guns regularly group like rifles at 100 yards with quality sabots, which changes what a shotgun deer hunter can do.
Action and Trigger
The AccuTrigger lets you adjust the pull weight yourself, and its center blade prevents the rifle from firing unless the trigger is pulled deliberately, so you get a crisp, light break without giving up safety.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 12 GA Cartridge
The 12 GA offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
