Design and practical features

The long 25" barrel on the SAVAGE ARMS NRA Model 19 promotes a longer sight radius and can improve velocity and consistency with .22LR loads — an advantage for target shooters seeking repeatable groups. The fully-adjustable peep rear sight allows fine vertical and windage adjustments; paired with the Redfield brass bead front sight, it makes precise iron-sight shooting straightforward.

Action and ergonomics

The single-point striker system and rectangular ejection port are period-correct elements that aid reliability and simplify maintenance. The original 5-round detachable magazine inserts and drops out easily via a tab-style release, preserving the rifle’s vintage feel while providing practical reloads for range sessions.
