Upgraded and on sale through general retail outlets, the revamped Model 212 and 220 Turkey are just in time for the season.
How the Model 212 and Model 220 are set up for turkey season:
Built on 110 rifle action
AccuFit adjustable comb height and LOP
Internal AccuStock rail system
22-inch, free-floating blued barrel
Interchangeable extra-full turkey choke (Win. choke thread)
Detachable box magazine
User-adjustable AccuTrigger
One-piece synthetic stock with Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage
One-piece rail for easy optic mounting
Best known as slug guns, Savage Arms has turned out Model 212 and Model 220 shotguns tailor-made for gobblers for a few years now. Yet, it took some doing to get one in the hunt, given the turn-bolt smoothbores were only available through special order directly from the gunmaker.
Not anymore. Moving the Model 212 and Model 220 to general distribution, the turkey guns are now available from Savage dealers and just in time for most regions’ impending spring season. The shotguns should catch turkey hunters’ eyes, not simply for their familiar and reliable Model 110 rifle action, but also their upgraded stocks. The shotguns boast Savage's proprietary AccuFit fully adjustable buttstock and AccuStock internal aluminum rail system. The company also outfitted them with AccuTrigger adjustable triggers.
Both shotguns are available in 12- and 20-gauge and with Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage stocks. The Savage Model 212 and Model 220 has an MSRP of $695 in 20-gauge and $779 in 12-gauge.
More from Savage:
WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – March 13, 2019 – Savage unveils the Model 212 and 220 turkey guns, designed to give serious gobbler hunters maximum performance and adjustability. Shipments have been delivered to dealers.
Originally only offered through the Savage Special Order Office, the Model 212 and 220 bolt-action turkey shotguns are now available everywhere. Both are built around the Model 110 rifle action, which is machined from steel bar stock and secured three-dimensionally along its entire length by the AccuStock internal chassis. Their blued, 22-inch carbon steel barrels are free-floating and secured to the receiver using a Model 110-style locking nut that ensures shot-to-shot consistency.
The user-adjustable AccuTrigger provides a light, crisp pull, and the AccuFit system allows hunters to customize length-of-pull and comb height for precision that shooters won’t find in any other turkey gun. The detachable, two-round magazine enables quick loading, and the oversize bolt knob helps operation with gloved hands.
