I made the switch to the Savage 220F 3 years ago. It is a 200 yard gun. I have taken two deer at 220 yards with it. It is dead on at 200 yards. The problem is finding shells. I have been looking for Remington 3 inch accutip for a 8 months. They will not get any in until Feb. Luckily I bought 10 boxes 2 years ago.
