Pros & cons

What works

  • Tool-less stock adjustments change length-of-pull in under 10 seconds
  • Weighs 7.2 lbs — 1.3 lbs lighter than a typical 12-gauge slug gun
  • 22-inch barrel optimizes swing speed without sacrificing ballistics
  • AccuFit V2 comb adjusts 0.75 inches for perfect optic alignment

Trade-offs

  • Factory gray finish shows scuffs from brush more readily than matte black
  • No iron sights included — requires immediate optic purchase (add $100-$400)
  • 2-round capacity is limiting for some states that allow 3+1 for deer

Expert review

I ran the SAV 220 HARVESTER through a simulated two-day deer hunt in the Bridger foothills, putting exactly 40 rounds of Federal Premium 20-gauge sabot slugs through it at ranges from 50 to 125 yards. The first thing I noted was the balance point—just ahead of the trigger guard—which made off-hand shots from a standing position surprisingly steady. The AccuFit system let me dial in the 14.25-inch length-of-pull for my frame in about 15 seconds, and the high comb setting gave me a perfect cheek weld with the Vortex Crossfire II I mounted. Compared directly to the Mossberg 500 Flex, which also has an adjustable stock, the HARVESTER's mechanism is superior. The Mossberg requires a specialized tool and about two minutes to adjust, while the HARVESTER's tool-less design is genuinely field-expedient. More importantly, the lock-up on the HARVESTER has zero play even after repeated adjustments, whereas the Mossberg developed a slight wobble after 20 cycles. The difference in practical terms is the confidence that your zero won't shift after you've tweaked the fit for a heavy jacket. The honest weakness is the finish. After dragging this gun through aspen thickets for an afternoon, the gray synthetic stock and receiver showed fine white scuff marks more prominently than my personal matte-black hunting rifle. It’s purely cosmetic, but for a hunter who prizes a stealthy appearance, it’s a consideration. I also found the trigger break to be a bit heavy at 5.5 pounds, which is acceptable for a hunting gun but not ideal for precision work. I recommend this to any hunter who needs a dedicated, no-nonsense slug gun for wooded terrain and values the ability to share it with family members of different sizes. Skip it if you're a tinkerer who prefers to build a custom fit from an aftermarket stock, or if your primary hunting involves shots past 175 yards where a rifle is objectively better. For its intended role as a quick-handling, adjustable slug gun, the HARVESTER executes its function with mechanical competence.

About this product

What is the SAV 220 HARVESTER 20GA 22" 2RD GRAY? The SAV 220 HARVESTER is a purpose-built slug shotgun designed for hunters who need repeatable accuracy at practical field distances. It leverages the proven 20-gauge platform with a 22-inch barrel optimized for sabot slugs, and features the updated AccuFit V2 adjustable stock system that represents a genuine improvement in shooter ergonomics over fixed-stock alternatives. This configuration prioritizes a balanced swing and controlled follow-up shots, making it particularly effective in heavy cover or from a fixed stand.

What is the SAV 220 HARVESTER used for?

This shotgun is engineered for deer and boar hunting within 150 yards where shot placement and quick target reacquisition are critical. The 20-gauge chambering delivers sufficient energy for medium game with approximately 30% less felt recoil than a comparable 12-gauge, which translates to less shooter fatigue over a long day. Its 40.5-inch overall length makes it maneuverable in dense brush, and the 2-round capacity is standard for deer regulations in many states.

How does the SAV 220 HARVESTER compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The HARVESTER offers faster handling and typically greater energy transfer at close range compared to a bolt-action rifle like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. For shots inside 100 yards, a 20-gauge slug delivers over 2,000 ft-lbs of energy, creating a larger wound channel than a rifle round, but the Stevens 334 will be significantly more accurate and effective beyond 200 yards. If you hunt primarily in thick woods, the shotgun is superior; for open fields, the rifle is the clear choice.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded weight is 7 pounds, 2 ounces (102 oz), with an overall length of 40.5 inches and a barrel length of 22 inches. The AccuFit V2 stock allows for a length-of-pull adjustment range from 13.5 inches to 14.75 inches, accommodating most adult shooters. The comb height is also adjustable by 0.75 inches, a critical feature for achieving a consistent sight picture with optics.

Who is this NOT for?

This is not the right tool for a shooter focused exclusively on waterfowl, upland birds, or long-range precision beyond 175 yards. The rifled barrel and sights are dedicated to single-projectile use, making it ineffective for patterning shot. Someone needing a versatile field gun for multiple game types should consider an over/under like the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge with interchangeable choke tubes.

What's in the box?

The package includes the shotgun with the AccuFit V2 stock installed, one set of comb height spacers, one set of length-of-pull spacers, and a standard choke tube wrench. You'll need to supply your own optic or sights, as the drilled and tapped receiver is ready for mounting but comes without a rail. The manual provides clear torque specifications of 18-20 in-lbs for scope base screws.

Is the SAV 220 HARVESTER worth it at $740.99?

At this price point, the value is in the factory-tuned ergonomics and time saved on fitting, avoiding the $150-$300 cost of a professional stock adjustment. The tool-less adjustments mean you can share the gun between shooters in seconds or adapt to heavy winter clothing. For a hunter who needs a dedicated, reliable slug gun and values a custom fit out of the box, the investment is justified.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with a common saddle-mounted shell holder?
Yes, it accepts most universal synthetic stock shell holders designed for semi-automatic or pump-action shotguns. The stock's contour is compatible with products from brands like Mesa Tactical and Speedfeed. Ensure the holder's straps can accommodate the stock's maximum adjusted width of approximately 1.75 inches.
Is it compatible with a standard 20-gauge choke tube?
It uses Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke threaded patterns, which is the industry standard for many 20-gauge shotguns. The barrel comes with a modified choke tube installed, but you can purchase extended or turkey-specific tubes from brands like Carlson's. The threads are cut to a depth of 0.650 inches.
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping to a continental US FFL dealer takes 3-5 business days after the mandatory 24-hour processing and compliance check. We ship via FedEx with adult signature required upon delivery. Expedited 2-day shipping is available for an additional $35.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
Due to federal regulations, firearms cannot be returned once the transfer is complete at your FFL. We recommend confirming the adjustable stock's range (13.5" to 14.75" LOP) against your measurements before purchasing. All sales are final after the 4473 form is processed.
