Description
You’ve patterned your turkey, you’ve practiced your calls, and you’ve found the perfect spot. But when that gobbler steps into range at 40 yards, your old smoothbore just can’t deliver the tight, consistent pattern you need for a clean, ethical harvest. That’s the gap the Savage 220 Turkey, 20 Ga, 22″, 3″, 2rd, Accustock Camo is built to fill—a dedicated, budget-friendly shotgun that bridges the gap between a standard field gun and a custom-tuned turkey slayer.
The Savage 220 Turkey is a bolt-action, 20-gauge shotgun purpose-built for turkey hunting. It features a 22-inch barrel with a turkey-specific choke, a two-round capacity, and comes in a full camo finish with Savage’s Accustock system for enhanced stability. At $565.02, it offers a specialized, accurate platform without the custom-shop price tag. This firearm ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Let’s talk about the core of this gun’s value: the bolt-action design. Here’s the thing—it’s inherently more rigid than a pump or semi-auto action. That rigidity, combined with the free-floated, heavy-contour 22-inch barrel, means consistent shot placement and tighter patterns, shot after shot. You’re not paying for extra firepower you don’t need; you’re paying for precision where it counts. The included turkey choke tube is optimized for dense patterns with modern TSS or heavy lead loads, giving you the reach and downrange energy for confident shots.
The Accustock system is a major part of the package. It’s not just a fancy camo dip; it’s an aluminum bedding block that locks the action into the stock. This drastically reduces flex and movement, which translates directly to better accuracy. It’s a feature you’d typically find on much more expensive rifles, and it fits out of the box with no gunsmithing required. The stock itself has an adjustable comb, letting you get a perfect cheek weld for your preferred optic, whether it’s a red dot or a low-power scope.
Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds, it’s light enough for a long morning’s stalk but has enough heft to steady your aim. The two-round capacity (one in the chamber, one in the magazine) keeps the profile slim and is frankly all you need for turkey hunting. The 3-inch chamber handles everything from lighter 2.75-inch loads to the heaviest 3-inch magnum turkey shells on the market, giving you flexibility based on your preference and local regulations.

This gun is for the Missouri hunter who takes turkey season seriously but isn’t looking to spend over a grand on a specialty firearm. It’s for the hunter who wants a dedicated tool that offers rifle-like precision in a shotgun platform. It’s also a fantastic choice for a younger or smaller-framed hunter who benefits from the lighter recoil of a 20-gauge but doesn’t want to sacrifice lethal performance at distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for deer hunting with slugs?
A: Absolutely. The Savage 220’s platform is renowned for its slug-gun accuracy. While this “Turkey” model has a shorter 22-inch barrel and a turkey choke, you can easily swap the choke tube for a rifled slug barrel or a cylinder bore tube for use with foster-type slugs. It’s a highly versatile system.
Q: Is the camo finish durable?
A: The finish is a textured, dipped camo that holds up well to brush and field use. It’s designed to be functional hunting camouflage, not a showpiece finish. For extreme durability, some users add a wrap, but for most seasons of use, it will serve you well as-is.
Q: What optics mount does it use?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base. It uses a common Savage 110 pattern, so mounts and rails from brands like EGW, Weaver, or Warne are widely available and easy to install, making it simple to add a red dot like a Vortex Venom or a low-power shotgun scope.
If you’re ready to step up your turkey game with a purpose-built, accurate, and surprisingly affordable shotgun, the Savage 220 Turkey represents a serious value. See current availability and pricing at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
