I just wish someone would revive the 219 Savage with a forged steel receiver. A 45-70, 30-40 Krag,38-55 and 44 mag with a .429 bored barrel with a twist that would handle 300 grain cast would find a home here
I had to google the 219 savage. Right away, I see a better looking gun.!! Damn !! Easy reach, big hammer. Slender graceful stock. Why is it so difficult? I dont get it, are people really this stupid? And why would that cost more than any one would spend? Why would a Henry exact clone of the 219 cost a nickel more? I dont see any big manufacturing challenge. I was naive enough to expect to see something more/less like this from Henry. The Henry is heavy too.
I dont care if the receiver is forged. That is not important to me. The strength vs weight can be achieve multiple ways.
All internet chatter aside, I might just add the 219 in 30/30 to my long term watch list.
