*JOHN MADOLE CUSTOM ENGRAVED SAVAGE MODEL 219 SINGLE SHOT RIFLE.

*JOHN MADOLE CUSTOM ENGRAVED SAVAGE MODEL 219 SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Cal. 22 Hornet. SN 18307. Beautiful little rifle with 25-7/8” tapered rnd bbl, ramp front sight with semi-buckhorn rear sight & grooved bbl with clamp-on base & rings containing a 3/4” tube Browning 4X miniature scope. It has been custom stocked with very nicely figured American walnut with checkered, schnable tipped forearm & pistol grip stock, 13-1/8” over a checkered, Niedner-style buttplate. There is a safari sling base around bbl with a corresponding stud in buttstock. Receiver is finished bright with Mr. Madole’s spectacular engraving consisting of very tasteful amounts of extremely well-executed foliate arabesque patterns. It has “SAVAGE” in a ribbon on each side. Mr. Madole has constructed a custom steel trigger guard, a custom trigger and a flat, checkered thumb safety in top tang. He also scalloped the rear edge of the receiver with a custom engraved disc with flower blossom patterns. In addition he built a custom, scalloped edge, engraved metal grip cap. When questioned by consignor why he had expended so much effort, energy & expense on such an inexpensive firearm, his reply was “what was the piece of canvas worth before the Mona Lisa was painted on it?” CONDITION: Appears to be new & unfired. Retains virtually all of its fine custom finish to both metal & wood. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore, crisp optics. 4-58940 JR609 (1,500-2,500)
