Savage 220 (bolt action 20 gauge)

wjackcooper · Jul 29, 2019

Problems with failure to eject and feed, have tried three different magazines and vigorous operation of the bolt. I have an inquiry in with Savage, but perhaps someone here has had a similar experience. A web search indicates this is not an uncommon problem, but the solution (if any) is not apparent.

No luck with a search here.

I have two of these Standard and Youth .Don`t baby it work the action hard .We have not had any issues. Very accurate with 3" Federal slugs trophy copper .Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply.

Son's gun, he shoots 3 inch Remington Accu Tips. Accuracy is good. He has tried vigorous operation of the bolt, no better result re ejection and feeding.

I used to have one and I agree. Work that bolt like it owes you money.

Mine is exactly the same way and if I'm not aggressive with the action it will do exactly what your son's is doing.

Gun back from Savage, polished bolt and chamber, maybe new extractor, at any rate it feeds and ejects much better.

Any recommendations on scope wise? I'm about to pick one up for myself.

Leupold 174184 VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm Muzzleloader / Shotgun Scope, Sabot Ballistics Reticle

This is the scope on the gun. Note that it is a “Muzzleloader / Shotgun Scope.” I would recommend same.
