Jeff,

I have owned all the tradtoanal lever .22s as well over the last 30+ years. The m9422, the Browning BL-22, Marlin m39 ,Ithaca and Henry. The Marlins are a very well made gun, but so is the Winchester.

Anyone who would claim to have owned and shot several samples of both rifles and then say that the Winchester m9422 in ANY WAY takes a back seat to the Marlin m39 is well and truly stupid.
