Well, it isnt very refined, but I absolutely treasure my late 1930's Savage 219. I have most of the barrels you could get:
.30-30 .22 Hornet 12 ga 16 ga 20 ga .410 ga
It isnt fancy, but it's slam tight reliable, and my favorite rifle in a tight stand and shot inside of 75 with 30-30. The Hornet has a 1950's Weaver KV on it, and shoots incredibly tight groups. It's aces on PA turkey across fields a shotgun wont bridge.
The pre-war 219's are the very best of them, and I have seen a couple that owners have restocked with Circassian wood and had finely engraved.
