I have a line on a Savage 219/220.  Has a .22 Hornet barrel and a 20ga.  Thoughts.   Any others make up their with this 20ga. single?  Results?  How is it set up?

My uncles had the .222 x 20ga models and they shot copper plated 7.5 loads. They had to have the barrels bent. They had them scoped and the shotguns wouldnt pattern with the rifle. So gunsmith bent shotgun barrel to pattern around rifle POI. They worked great to about 35 yards.

Made the purchase.  It will be a project to be finished before next season.  Our gun season closed here in California last Sunday.
