Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional value for the price point. The full camo finish is a major asset in the field and is typically found on more expensive models. The action is robust and simple to maintain. Its light weight reduces fatigue during long carries.
Cons: The fixed Modified choke limits your patterning options compared to a system with interchangeable tubes. Some users may prefer a longer or shorter barrel for specific applications. The synthetic stock, while durable, lacks the aesthetic of wood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the chamber length, and what ammunition can I use?
A: The Savage 320 Field Cpt has a 3-inch chamber. You can safely fire 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge shells, including target loads, buckshot, and slugs. Always check your specific ammunition’s compatibility with a fixed Modified choke.
Q: Is the camo pattern durable?
A: Yes, the Mossy Oak Break-Up finish is a tough, molded-in coating designed to withstand the abrasion and moisture encountered in typical hunting environments. It won’t peel or flake like some dipped finishes.
Q: Can I add a sling or optics?
A: The stock and forend are compatible with standard aftermarket swivel studs for attaching a sling. Mounting optics directly is not typical for this field model, but you can explore saddle mounts or have the receiver drilled and tapped by a gunsmith if needed.
