Specialty guns are the primary focus of Savage Arms' business. All of its product offerings fulfill a special need. Weapons designed for left-handed shooters are a good example of this.

While buckshot is capable of taking deer-sized game, it is only effective at short ranges, generally under 50 yards (46 meters). A properly selected barrel and slug load can increase the range to ...

This gun costs approximately US$250. Saboted slugs cost about US$15 for 5 shells. The Ultra slug barrel is a "Heavy" barrel. It is about 1/8" thick all the way around and the added weight helps tremendously with recoil. There is also a bar in the stock that helps with recoil.
