Savage 16ga Semi Auto

[LoneCoon]

I was wandering around Gander Mountain today when I saw a Savage 16 ga semi auto. Some research shows that it's probably a Model 720 Standard Autoloader with an adjustable choke. It looked really nice but I wanted to ask you, my fellow High Roaders, if you knew anything about this particular shotgun?

If it is a 720 then it is a licensed clone of the Browning Auto-5. Excellent gun. The owner's manual is here:

Browning licensed that A-5 design to a LOT of companies.

I have a Remington copy of the A-5 in 16ga and it is an outstanding shotgun.

If that's what you are looking at I suspect you would get a real nice shotgun.

As far as I can tell all the parts are interchangeable with A-5's but maybe someone else knows more about that.

Does your gun look like this one?

Looked like that, with some engraving on it, yes.

Cool gun, have any pics?

 

[LoneCoon]

I'm picking it up Monday. I'll have pics for you all then.

And I finally have the gun in my possession. Apparently it's a model 775a.

As my first shotgun, I'm really pleased with it. Hopefully, I'll be able to go shoot some clays next weekend.
