94/22

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

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. (

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.

You did good Boolit-Master.I have one that`s made in 1981 with thousends of boolits through it and it`s still going strong.Fun to shoot,good looking and one inch accuracy 50 yds.What more could you ask for.I `m in love with mine.

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.

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.

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.

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.
