Description
When you need a shotgun that works without fuss, that you can grab from the safe and know it’s ready—for waterfowl at dawn, for clays on a weekend, or for securing your homestead—you need a tool, not a toy. The Savage 320 Pump 12 Ga, 28″, 3″, Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades Finish is that tool. It’s a no-nonsense, reliable pump-action shotgun built on a proven design, dressed in a functional Mossy Oak camo pattern to break up your outline in the marsh or field.
Here’s the thing—a shotgun is a simple machine. Its job is to go bang every time you pull the trigger and cycle the action. The Savage 320 does exactly that. Built on a time-tested, Winchester 1300-style action, this pump delivers smooth, reliable cycling. The 28-inch vent-rib barrel provides a long, clean sight plane for leading targets, whether that’s a crossing duck or a soaring clay pigeon. The Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades finish isn’t just for looks; it’s a practical camouflage that helps you blend into tall grass and wetland edges, a key advantage when waterfowl hunting in Missouri’s public areas or private blinds. At a total length of 48.5 inches, it balances pointability and maneuverability.
Key Features & Practical Performance
Let’s break down what makes this shotgun a solid choice. The heart of the 320 is its dual-action bars. This isn’t just marketing—it provides a smoother, more bind-free pump stroke compared to single-action bar designs, especially when you’re working the action fast from the shoulder. The 3-inch chamber is the modern standard, giving you the flexibility to run everything from light 2¾-inch target loads to heavier 3-inch magnum shells for geese or turkeys. That versatility is crucial.
The 28-inch barrel features a vent rib and a single, brass-bead front sight. It’s a classic, effective setup. The vent rib helps dissipate heat mirage on sunny days, and the bead is all you need for fast, instinctive shooting on moving targets. The synthetic stock and forend are durable and weather-resistant, shrugging off the damp conditions you’ll find in a duck boat or a snowy field. The matte Mossy Oak finish on the metal and synthetic parts reduces glare. With an overall weight around 7.5 lbs, it’s light enough to carry all day but has enough mass to soak up recoil from heavier loads.

Pros & Cons: The Straight Talk
Pros: Exceptional value for a reliable, camo-finished shotgun. The proven action design is known for durability and smooth operation. The 28-inch barrel is ideal for wingshooting. The Mossy Oak finish provides real-world concealment right out of the box. It’s compatible with a wide range of aftermarket choke tubes from brands like Carlson’s and Trulock, letting you fine-tune your pattern.
Cons: As a budget-friendly pump, it lacks some of the refined finishes of higher-end models. The stock is a basic synthetic design—it fits most, but shooters with very long or short arms may find the length of pull isn’t perfect. That said, it’s a workhorse, not a showpiece.
Who Is This Shotgun For?
This is the first shotgun for a new hunter who needs reliability without breaking the bank. It’s the dedicated waterfowl gun for the hunter who doesn’t want to worry about beating up a more expensive auto-loader in the marsh. It’s the backup gun for the guide or the “loaner” for taking a friend shooting. If your priority is function, proven performance, and getting into a camo shotgun without a major investment, this Savage 320 answers the call. At $267.70, it represents a significant amount of capability for the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes does this model come with?
A: It typically includes a Modified (M) choke tube installed, which is a great all-around choice for hunting and clays. The barrel uses a common choke tube thread pattern, so you can easily add aftermarket tubes for tighter or more open patterns.
Q: Is the Mossy Oak finish durable?
A: Yes. The finish on the metal is a baked-on camo coating designed to resist corrosion and wear from field use. The synthetic parts are molded in the camo pattern, so it won’t wear off. It’s built for the environment it’s named after.
Q: Is it ready to use immediately?
A: Absolutely. This is a drop-in ready firearm. A standard FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, but once that’s complete, you can clean it, add your chosen ammunition, and head to the range or field. No gunsmithing required.
