94/22

[161]

Bought a Winchester 94/22 yesterday. Looks like new 22 in. barrel never seen one with that barrel length before. Wasn't looking for a new gun but it sure is pertty. $700 how bad did I do.

[Bret4207]

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.

[Dan Cash]

If your gun is cherry and Delux model, not bad price.

[LUCKYDAWG13]

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

[9.3X62AL]

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!

[161]

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.

[starmac]

I personally haven't seen one go for less than 500 for at least 2 years, maybe more.

[Jack Stanley]

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!

[161]

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.

[John D]

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. lol

[161]

Back in 84 I paid $250.00 for the mag. I had.

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.

[HBAR2989]

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.

[starmac]

I have an uncle that bought the magnum when it first came out. It was a sweet shootin gun.

[shotstring]

Money doesn't always mean so much. I bought a pair of 9422Ms around 1985 for $250 each with presentation grade flat out GORGEOUS wood. Must have been a mistake at the factory, but I had to look through close to 30 rifles to find them at the gun store where I worked. I traded one later for a gold nugget and the 2nd one I gave to my dad, figuring I'd see it again when he died. Well, when he died, no one knew what happend to that rifle - was never seen again and had the best wood I'ver ever seen on a 22 rifle.

So...now you have one, and I, who had two, don't. :o(

Shot it yesterday for the first time, it's a keeper.

That is a Model 9422 Legacy - which became the standard 9422 after the discontinuation of the XTR's etc.

The change occurred when Winchester was desparately trying to reduce their production costs to hold the price down; so the metal polish prior to bluing is not as thorough/high as earlier, the stock wood was cut at a diametrically opposed angle (compared to earlier Standards) to show some "grain", and was the first (only ? ) 9422 to be issued with a rubber bumper ILO a hard buttplate.

Mecanically, however, all 9422's are the same - the only differences over the years/models being fit/finish.

That is a very pretty rifle. I paid $312 for a new 94/22M back probably 20-25 yrs. ago. The best shooting .22 rimfire I own. Very accurate, slick functioning rifle. I wish I had bought a .22lr to go with it.

The prices of guns are getting scarey. You have a fine rifle.

Those 94/22s just ROCK.

[Shedhunter]

The 94/22 is one of the finest .22's made....All steel and walnut. Aguila Super Colibri is great fun out of the lever action.

[Walt]

A local GS was closing up here about 20 years ago. They had a 94/22 lr and a 94/22 mag at really great closeout prices. I grabbed the lr and my brother took the mag. The actions are smooth as silk and they shoot like bolt action target rifles! Truely outstanding guns. I haven't had mine out in years. I guess I should fix that.:mrgreen:

[olafhardt]

Mine isn't a Winchester, it's a Marlin 39D ( D as in Dawg) a shorter thin barrel pistol grip model 39 Marlin made for a couple of years. I understand the value is going up, but it ain't for sale. Enjoy that lovely young thing.
