One of Savage’s interesting additions to their new shotgun is its ability to be modified; each S1200 comes with five different interchangeable chokes. As important as personalization is, a good shotgun must be dependable; to add much-needed reliability, they integrated a rotating bolt head that locks into the steel barrel extension. I was actually pretty impressed with this innovation –good move Stevens. Going back to personalization, lefties beware –the S1200 was only designed to be fired right-handed (it loads from the bottom but ejects to the right).
