Phew! That's a lot of money. I don't know what they're selling for now, but just prior to being discontinued they were about half that.
If your gun is cherry and Delux model, not bad price.
i saw one at cabelas looked like new going for $300. dang i wish i would have got it
but no i had to think on it over night and it got sold dang it
kids that hunt and fish dont mug old ladies
If you like the rifle, the price is irrelevant. The few I've seen available in my area have all been $500+ for the past couple years, and they don't last long at that price. None of those were like new, more like 90%'ers at best. The 94/22s are NICE RIFLES. Enjoy that critter, go get some ammo and have some fun!
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
I brought it home tonight, may have paid to much but the more I look at it the more I don't care. Sweet little gun. Most I ever paid for a 22.

I personally haven't seen one go for less than 500 for at least 2 years, maybe more.
Like the man said price is irrelevant if you like the rifle , people thought I was nuts buying a kimber in the mid-eighties for the price they commanded . But the rifle did and still does for me all I could ever expect ...... sometimes , I'll just get it out and admire it .
You already paid the admission for that Winchester so now enjoy every last cent you paid

161,
Having a 22 inch barrel, your gun likely is the model with a pistol grip stock. If so they were made for only a few years. So the price is fair. Enjoy it!
I'll try to post some pictures tonight.
Thanks

I bought one several years ago and it has turned into one of my favorite rifles great shooting .
I am sure you will enjoy yours. It is a great little rfle.
I bought one back in 2005 NIB for $399. It's still un-fired.
I'll have to do something about that..

Thats beautiful, wood looks nice, like the long barrel and I have never seen a 94/22 with a pistol grip stock.
Enjoy it.
Back in 1992 I paid $350 for a new Marlin 1894M 22Mag, everyone thought I lost my mind. It was alot of money then, but I never looked back, and still enjoy it.

One very nice 22, that will give you years of service. I have a marlin I will die with, unless I could trade it for a 9422. lolOriginally Posted by 161

That's a 94/22 'Legacy' model.
The 94/22 rifles have gone crazy in price...so-so guns that would've sold for a couple hundred bucks a few years back sell for four or five hundred dollars now.
several years ago..I paid $165 for a sort of rough looking..but mechanicaly fine 94/22M XTR. Looks rough because the metal is like 100% minor rust freckled..is still wearing a lot of blue...but there is not a square inch that isn't freckled with some rust....Looks like a 'wet guncase' issue to me.
A coworker had tried to trade it on a new shotgun..and the dealer was only going to allow him $100 for it. I offered the coworker all the money I had on me..$165...he took my money and went back and got his shotgun.
Fabulous shooting .22 mag rifle. I had never paid much attention to the .22 magnum until I got the rusty Winchester. The .22 mag got more beans than I expected!

I haven't seen a variant like yours, either. Given a 2004 MSRP of $512, I'd say that $700 for an out-of-print, rare variant is a pretty good price! and the above poster mentioning the nutzo prices on all 94/22s is correct, in spades.

I've had a 22 mag that's first year manufacture that's in the 5000's serial #. It's one fine rifle. I bought it for 90.00 before I was old enough to drive. I'm 53 now.
