    That's what I meant about the pad, the toe line. Show us the whole gun when you get a chance.

    Some type of tape or dried up oil under the scope mount.
    I’ll try to get that off later.

    Thank you!

    I bet a skinner would be nice on this. Or a Marbles tang sight if either were made for it.

    That is a nice stock, best I've ever seen on any single barrel gun. I had a 30/30 that someone did a
    nice job of having a Redfield reciever sight contoured to barrel. It was silver soldered on. Really a
    good shooter. A buddy of mine cried until I traded it to him. He still has it and won't get off it. I've
    seen them with Williams guide sights with aperatures that mount in rear scope base screws.

    When opening the action do it slowly with your hand over the chamber to catch the ejected case. YES, it does `THROW` the ejected case across a room and a bit farther. Lyman #311041 with IMR 3031 seems to be what mine will shoot.Robert

    The debris under the scope mount base is most likely dried thread locker - which some folks used to add a little holding power to the base mounting screws.

    It's usually easily removed w/o effecting the bluing via scraping it off with the end of a cut off wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.



    I couldn't make out the model stamp on the RH side of your 219's action, but know it has to be either "219" or "219B".


    If it's marked "219" only, your gun was made between the start of production in 1938 and a little after the end of WWII.

    If it's marked "219B", it was made from after WWII to the early 1960's, after which Savage production switched to the side-lever opener Model 219L & 220L.

    Production was discontinued in 1965.

    If you want to find out more about your rifle, Google "Savage 219". There is a small website devoted to this rifle and variants. You can learn a lot there.

    Thanks all.

    It is a 219 with no letters.
    Awesome to see such a nice old gun well kept over the years. If all works out I’ll be shooting her today.
    I’ll check out that site to see if I can find some more details on its manufacture.

    It's official. I'm in love.

    Brought 2 loads.
    18 grains fo H4198
    8 grains of Unique
    Both under a plain based lee custom run copy of a 311041

    Plinked steel at 130 or so yards. So nice.

    Now I need a hornet

    Are you tilting the breech, ejecting the brass in the air, and catching them in your hand as they come back down?

    I'm not that good yet. Just keeping my hand over the breech and letting it pop into my palm.

    I'm going to load a bunch more unique loads. I'm amazed the velocity you can get with unique and 170 pill.

    Great find! That recoil pad can be changed and ground properly to the stock without much loss.

    My uncle gave me his 1940's 219 with 22 Hornet and 16 ga barrels. Great for ground hogs and bunnies / clays respectively.

    I have a 219 B with hornet 30-30 and a 16 ga barrel . All I've ever used was the hornet . may have to get the 30-30 barrel out and see what it will do.

    Nice.

    Real Nice!

    Something like that is the only thing I can think of that would tempt me to buy another gun.
