Why should I get a 22 Mag Ultra?
« on: July 22, 2010, 05:44:15 AM »
Got a Savage 219 Hornet for $175 that has been in limbo because the shop can't procure the extractor from the usual suspects. He offered up the Ultra as a straight trade. I have a mag set up how I like it (sporter barrel, Tamer, 2.5x scope). Weighs nothing and points great. So I am flipflopping on the Ultra which I just believe to be a very heavy (in lbs) bull barrel with a lami stock.

if its a used gun, ask him to let you shoot it..... that will make your mind up quick !!!  ;)
not say'n that its an accurate or not accurate shooter, do it just to see how it responds to your like'n.  ;D
i'm spoiled with my custom built rugers in LR and WMR.  good luck.

Well, I like mine in BC-Carbine wood (used the UV lam wood on another CF) and it is always ready to play with or go for a walk, regardless of if I got around to reloading or not. Quite a few factory offerings now in that caliber and it works pretty well.
BTW, that Sav 219 isnt a lightweight either, is it? It is getting harder to find parts to keep the old guns working, especially those that were 'cheap, working guns', like that model.
