Savage is racing out of the gate in 2021 with a new shotgun designed for people who want to go Ricky Bobby fast. The Savage Renegauge Competition was built for the sole purpose of going fast and shooting a lot. The extended mag tube holds nine shells of 12 gauge. Top that off and you have a 10-round shotgun that weighs in at 8.2 pounds.

The 24-inch carbon steel barrel helps cut down on weight. That barrel is topped with a high vented rib that is finished at the end with a HIVIZ TriComp front sight. At the end of the barrel, you’ll also find an extended skeet 2, light modified choke.

This gun comes with oversized controls and features, including the loading magazine port, charging handle, and bolt release. Like its hunting predecessor, the new competition model benefits from Savage’s patented DRIV gas system. We were impressed with this system in our prior testing for its ability to feed on any ammo and keep chugging. The new competition-ready model will surely benefit.

The Renegauge already benefitted from the ability to be highly customized. Everything from length of pull, comb height, and drop of cast can be adjusted to fit. This model has the receiver, mag tube, and extended choke cerakoted with Corvette red. The stock, forend, and barrel are all black. This just makes it look fast. You should see the new model dropping in March 2021 with an MSRP of $1,959.
 
I'm sure it will appeal to some but I'll pass.
The shotgun sports I shoot only call for two shots and you'll need a really long mag plug to take it hunting, the balance with that long mag may take some getting used to as well!


Definitely 3 gun competition oriented
 
back in the day a single shot was all you needed

Back in the day when 3 gun wasn't a thing?

It does seem awfully expensive, there seems to be quite a few competition ready guns for less than this, made by companies who are better known for their shotguns...
 
I don't see Savage doing well with this new line of semi autos, unless they are amazing in the long term. They are not known for shotguns but are asking damn near what a Benelli, Beretta or Browning would cost. I personally would let some other folks test them out before buying.
 
I don't think there are very many people waiting impatiently for any version of the Renegauge shotgun.

I suspect that it is too expensive for the potential buyers, particularly with the lack of a Savage presence in the modern Shotgun marketplace.
 
One colour option and double the msrp of quite a few capable shotguns from actual shot gun manufacturers. Good luck on this one savage. This is not a buy/try/fly kind of gun. Those who buy should plan on keeping it.... I don’t foresee strong re sale on this.
 
Can it even be imported to Canada? Why would any one bother even if it was available here, with three gun on the way out due to our firearms laws?
