I got another Savage 219 30-30 today for $150.
The old guy I got it from at the gun show said he had been shooting coyotes with this rifle for 10 years in a field of sheep across the street from his house.

Per "A potpourri of single shot rifles and actions" by Frank De Haas, this is a later first model 219 with the alloy trigger guard, but still has the striker firing pin.

Still later came the 219B, then the 219C, and finally the dreaded 219L.
