The Savage Arms 220 Slug Left Hand is a bolt-action shotgun built for 20-gauge slug shooting, with the controls and ejection port configured for left-handed operation. It has a 22-inch carbon steel barrel with matte black finish, a synthetic sporter stock, and no iron sights. The receiver is optic ready. The AccuTrigger system provides an adjustable pull weight with a crisp break, which matters for accurate slug work at distance.

Features 

The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable, so you can dial in pull weight to match your preference without a gunsmith. The carbon steel barrel and receiver handle wet weather without issue. With no sights from the factory, you'll want to mount a scope before heading afield. The optic-ready receiver makes that straightforward. The 7.34-lb weight is on the lighter side for a dedicated slug gun. 
 

Use Cases 

The 220 LH is primarily a deer hunting shotgun for jurisdictions where rifles are prohibited. The bolt action and 20-gauge slug combination puts accuracy first over follow-up shot speed, which suits most hunting scenarios fine. It can also serve at the range for precision slug work.

The Savage 220 LH gets mostly positive feedback from left-handed slug hunters, with a few practical notes worth mentioning.

Accuracy is the most cited strength. The bolt-action design combined with Savage's AccuTrigger gives consistent slug groups, and users hunting deer in slug-only zones appreciate the precision. Build quality is also well-regarded. The matte finish and synthetic stock hold up in the field.

The optic-ready receiver is a genuine plus. Most users scope it immediately and appreciate that the platform is set up for that rather than requiring sight removal first.

Complaints are mainly about weight and action type. A few users find 7.34 lbs heavy for extended carry, though it's fairly typical for a dedicated slug gun. Some who prefer semi-automatic shotguns for faster follow-up shots find the bolt action limiting, though that's a fundamental tradeoff of the design rather than a defect. A handful of comments touch on aesthetics. The synthetic sporter look is functional but plain.

For left-handed shooters specifically, the LH configuration is the reason to buy it over a right-handed model. Running a right-hand bolt-action is awkward enough that having a purpose-built LH version makes a real difference in the field.
