I am a 73 yr old who lives in eastern ND. I collect model 54 Winchesters and some model 70's,Remington varmint specials, and 1903 Springfield's. I have a 22 Hornet in a 54 Winchester and it is close to being my favorite caliber. I reload and like trying to squeeze the best accuracy out a caliber The hornet lends itself to this with its low cost low recoil and report. I just purchased a Savage 219 in 22 hornet. From what i have learned from this forum It is a 2nd model with a flanged barrel ,Utica made, with markings on the top of barrel and it has the two screw holes on left rear of barrel. I had just made the decision to start selling of my collection, but was lured into buying this 219 by low price and fond memories of gopher hunting with the single shot rifles such as the Stevens Favorite. Thanks again for allowing me to join the group.
