Gotta go buy it first. 
Can’t wait to pattern my Christmas present!

What he said ^^^^ the safety is my biggest complaint. Best advice is shoot it plenty and get used to all of its functions. Cost me a chip shot at a gobbler this year. GREAT pattern for me
That should be knocking them down this spring. Heck, my oldest son is 30 and has started reloading his own shotshells with TSS. IT IS expensive but so effective that he has started using it with a 410, and has had several 1-shot kills out to 50 yards. Carrying a break action single shot with TSS is a whole lot lighter than ANY pump or semi-auto, regardless of gauge.

I agree about the safety. I removed it completely on mine. I don't miss it a bit.
Kewl!
What's wrong with the safety?

How do you go about this? I just leave mine on fire and don't worry about it with the hammer there's no need.l for the safety
Savage put a safety on the gun so you can pull the hammer and not have to worry with the turkey seeing or hearing you cocking the gun and you can move safely once engaged, the safety cannot be engaged until fully cocked. To me it's no different than a safety on any other gun except most single shots don't have a safety and the location so you have to get used to it. If you put the safety on the trigger will pull but the safety blocks it from hitting the firing pin. The good thing with the safety is if you move on the bird after cocking the gun you can do it without having to ease the hammer off, you have the safety on and it's no different than moving with a pump or semi automatic with the safety on at that point.I always use it and it's no big deal to me but you have to get used to a single shot with a safety feature and the position the safety is located .

Nice, I switched to a 20 gauge last year and was highly impressed shooting TSS. I will never go back to my 3.5 inch shooting lead.

There's nothing wrong with it. I just grew up with single shot shotguns that didn't have this extra safety. If the hammer is back, I'm ready to kill something. This firearm allows you to pull the hammer, then apply this safety. I'm just not a fan of that.
Got ya !
Makes sense now duh me !
Saw one of those in a gun shop a few weeks back. Didn't know about the safety. Good luck!

I had one those in 12 guage 3.5 years ago God that sucker rolled me a flip 2 shots and I was done 
Do yourself a favor and skip the federal tss and go to foxtrot ammo or burgess creek, or roll your own
Have you had issues with Federal TSS out of your 301 T? Savage developed the choke tube that comes with the gun for Federal TSS, I didn't have to buy another choke tube at all as the Federal TSS patterned awesome. I have the 410 in the 301 T also and the Federal shoots great out of it with the stock tube.
No problems just denser patterns with more shot 15/8 out of others vs 11/2 out of federal in the 20 ga.
I have never had any issues with performance with the 1.5 ounce load as TSS is unreal on the pattern but if you want a 1 5/8 load Federal makes that also In a 8/10 load. They shoot very well also. I have heard several other companies make great loads but I have never seen them , I assume you have to order from the company with some of it. I am guessing you would be hard pressed to find any brand and if you do the price will probably be ridiculous! Thank goodness I have enough to do for a few years.

Good luck with your setup. If you want TSS, now is the time to start searching and buying. Florida turkey season opens in two months and the TSS shot shell inventory across all southern States will start disappearing before you know it.

Congrats!
We bought the same in .410 this year and it patterns great with the federal.
