The Savage Arms 212 Harvester is a 12-gauge bolt-action slug gun purpose-built for big game hunting. Unlike semi-auto shotguns that sacrifice accuracy for speed, the 212's bolt action delivers the precision and reliability you need when it counts—a fully rifled 22" barrel pairs with a one-piece 0 MOA scope rail to keep your rounds on target at distance. At 8.24 lbs, it handles like a rifle and points naturally, making it equally at home from a bench or a ground blind.
What sets the Harvester apart is the redesigned AccuFit V2 adjustable stock. Forget one-size-fits-all: you dial in length of pull from 12.75" to 13.75" and adjust comb height without tools, so the gun fits your frame and shooting style. The beavertail stock integrates an ARCA rail for accessory mounting, and the LimbSaver recoil pad absorbs 50% of the kick—meaningful when you're shooting slugs all day. A modular grip system and M-Lok panels keep customization straightforward.
The trigger is Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger, tunable from 2.5 to 6 lbs pull weight. A carbon steel receiver and barrel come matte-finished to resist glare and corrosion, and the detachable two-round box magazine lets you reload quickly without fumbling. Two QD studs on the stock accept quick-detach sling mounts. Bottom line: if you want slug-gun precision without the price tag of a semi-auto, and you value fit and trigger feel over magazine capacity, the 212 Harvester earns its name.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scope and rings do I need for the Savage 212 Harvester?
The Harvester comes with a one-piece 0 MOA scope rail pre-mounted on the receiver. You'll need to purchase scope rings and a riflescope separately; modern hunting scopes in the 1–6x or 2–8x range are popular choices for slug hunting. The 0 MOA rail is ready to accept standard Picatinny/Weaver rings.
Can I adjust the stock to fit a smaller frame?
Yes. The AccuFit V2 stock lets you adjust length of pull from 12.75" to 13.75" and raise or lower comb height—all without tools. If you need a shorter pull, the minimum 12.75" should work for most adult shooters; if you're still outside that range, you may need to explore aftermarket stocks.
How much recoil reduction does the LimbSaver pad provide?
The LimbSaver recoil pad is rated for 50% recoil reduction, helping absorb the kick of 12-gauge slugs and making extended shooting sessions more comfortable and allowing for quicker, more accurate follow-up shots.
What comes in the box?
The Savage 212 Harvester includes the firearm, one detachable two-round box magazine, and the one-piece scope rail. Scope, rings, ammunition, and sling are sold separately.
