I have several 219's and they are very accurate. especially the .22 Hornet. They are the best built single shots in there price range ever made. I also have had H&R's and New England Arms and they shoot good but aren't built as well. The only thing that I do not like on the Savage's is the trigger pull. I would like to own a 25/20 or a 32/20, but they are out of my price range. None of the rifles mentioned here are as nice as the Ruger No.1. I recently bought a New England Arms in the .22 mag. It shoots fantastic.
