Used Winchester 9422 22LR 20″ Barrel

For a lot of guys and gals, Winchester’s 9422 (1972-2005) was pretty much the peak of lever-action rimfires, and I must confess I agree with them. By 1991, more than 600,000 9422s had been produced. By the end of the run, that number is estimated to be around 850,000. Later in the course of its production run, the 9422 was also offered in .22 Mag. (9422M), .17 HMR (9417) as well as the XTR upgrade with select walnut and nice checkering. In the mid-1980s, the company introduced a 22.5-inch version featuring a pistol-grip configuration more in keeping with the centerfire Model 64 rifle rather than the Model 94 carbine. There were also several other variants under the U.S. Repeating Arms banner including Big Loop, Trapper and laminate-stocked versions. The .22 Mag. version was what an old Canadian hunting buddy of mine used for years as his truck gun. It was topped with low-end variable scope and accounted for all manner of critters up to coyote size out to 150 yards.
