Hey Exchipy
Is that folding sight an original. I have 2 one with the elevator rear sight and the other with a folding sight like yours. Do you know, if perhaps, at the end of the run of 219s they switched to the folding rear?
Anybody else know???
It’s not original. It’s a Marble Arms #69 folding leaf sight. I believe even the later versions of the Savage 219 were never offered with a folding rear sight.
Follow-up to that earlier pictured performance:

The five shot group just prior to this one was even tighter, but a couple inches out of the black at 8 o’clock. A scope adjustment was made to get it centered. Prior to this range session, I had already switched from using my own cast RCBS 30-150-FNGC bullets and started using the Montana Bullet Company version of the same bullet, but this time in Winchester cases instead of the Remington cases I’d been using for many years. I understand that the internal volume of Winchester brass tends to be slightly greater than Remington brass. It’s looking like that made the difference.
