Home Forums Lever Action Central Rimfire Levers First Winchester: 9422M XTR Classic

Nice rifle Jag. I have a couple of them in .22mag from the 1970s. have a Colt Peacemaker with .22lr and .22 mag cylinders as well.

Spot on. Only made for 2 1/2 years in the mid-80’s. My favorite of all the configurations made. Most of them had really plain wood for some reason. I HAD one that had XX wood and let a guy talk me out of it. It cost him plenty but I still regret it.

Papalondog: Speaking of regrets back in 2,003 I was working a body guard detail in Bend, Oregon and our team was travelling with the person we were guarding. We stopped in Redmond, Oregon and as the subject visited his legal counsel we had some time to ourselves.
I went into a small gunshop there in Redmond and on the wall was a BEAUTIFULLY stocked Winchester 94/17 HMR Legacy (manufactured 2,003 & 2,004 only)!
I was new to the 17 HMR back then but loved the looks and feel of that "Legacy" (it looked exactly like Dave284's 94/22 XTR Classic except it had checkered forearm and buttstock).
Anyway it was pricey ($600.00 or so IIRC) and I was a bit rushed right then.
I thought it over that afternoon and got the money together (cash) and returned the next day to buy that nifty Rifle and it was GONE!
Been looking for one ever since - no luck - hence the "regret" on my part.

I just agreed to buy its little brother, a 1978 9422 XTR in .22 LR. I pick it up tomorrow morning.

I am like you jertex Marlin guy but thur, walked into pawn shop I go there once a week. We go to a movie on that day it was built in 1928 restored now. Any way Bob the owner now Marlin's are my weakness. But he pulls out a 9422 in .22 s,l,lr. I look at it yea it a Winchester then the price 500.00 out the door well it's home now. Cleaned up this mor then shooting this afternoon. Looked up serial # 1974 made. Real solid gun. I have looked at these for awhile but the price was right. Sounds like you have the Winchester fever. Be careful and get well soon.

If you got one $500 out the door, you know that you have to post a pic! 😉

Will try kids coming over they will know how or g-son for sure.

Jertex & LazyL0228: Good for you two guys!
Enjoy those Winchesters.
My gunshops and pawnshops are just completely OUT of everything/anything desirable in the way of Rifles or pistols these days!
Again, good for you's guy's.

Here is a pic of both. The 22LR has some bumps from reasonable usage but in overall very good condition.

Would take twice that to get mine.

Thanks, VarmintGuy Will try on pictures in morning. Pawn shop here has been doing a lot of buying people needing money alot of places shutting down or laying off. Like I said not a lot of spare money around here. But I have sold 30 rick of wood this winter so that my gun money. Also have traded wood for guns, labor, half of a pig, we still do that here when we can. Living good and loving retirement.

Thanks for reading

Not going to happen. Saying to large. That what she said, LOL

jertex nice looking

I can text or e-mail them. Then someone can post if they like.

Thanks,Fred

Got a 9422xtr non checkered.
Was in a gun cabinet for 20 yrs.
The buttplate turned white
I remoiled it w a toothbrush and it darkened back up.

Picked this up for $125. Woolworth was getting out of the gun business. It was the last one and they wanted to get rid of it.

Damn... Let me know when you want to get out of the gun business. .
That is really nice.

I bought a Winchester "Classic" for my son when he was younger, I had a choice of either the Win 94/17 or the 22 LR, with the .17 HMR just on the market I bought the .17HMR. My son was going to much ammo so I sold it. If I
had bought the .22 LR....I would still have the rifle....the second of many rifle requests.

I "Paid" $435.00 for the Classic .17 new in the box.

WTF kind of excuse is that? cheap bastid.......grin

From what I am seeing around now, about $500 difference!
