I have the uncheckered walnut 9422M, and it is a great shooter. It prefers the lighter bullets, especially the 30 gr Win HP. Headshots on jacks are easy if you take your time.

Here is mine as a Kid I worked the whole summer of '85 to earn the $$ to buy my first rifle, this Boy Scouts of America 9422. never treated as a limited edition, but used extensively as my small varmint rifle on the ranch for many years. Only fault it has ever had was the fore grip tended to shift forward a bit. In hindsight, i wish I would have saved a bit more and bought the Eagle Scout version..

The wife got me a nice 9422M for our 10'th wedding anniversary, 12 years ago? I Liked it so much that I started shopping for more to stash away for my 2 boys. My oldest boy is now 16, almost 17. I gave him this one on his 10'th birthday. (yellowboy version 9422M) My youngest boy turned 10 recently and I was finally able to give him his which I purchased from our John Barsness on the campfire here.
Something clever here.

My folks gave me a standard 9422 for my HS Graduation gift in 1973; here I am shooting it about a week before I left for Basic Training. I still have the rifle and it still shoots well.

Thats a cool pic. I bought two 9422 mags when I got back from the Marines in 1976 and still have 'em. Bought a 9422 a few years later thinking I would give one to each of my boys and keep one for myself. Never did. Now I plan to give one to each of my grandsons later on. Plenty of other rifles to share with my own boys. It was the little gallery pump (I still have one left) that first caught my attention at the shooting gallery at the State Fair of Oklahoma back in the early 60s.

The only trouble with my 9422 is that I don't want it to get scratched and it sits in my safe too long at a time.
I had horrible luck with my Marlin 57. My bother got one at the same time and his was as bad as mine. Trigger pull from the factory was over 15 pounds for both rifles. Dad had bought them for us, for walking bean fields all summer. He thought the safety was stuck on. With the narrow trigger, it was like a knife on the trigger finger. He worked on the rifles and got the trigger pull to be about 4 pounds. Shooting it after several years there were issues with powder/gas coming back into my eye/face when I shot the rifle. Finally it started falling a apart on it's own. Luckily I traded it off after piecing it together. Never have I seen a more worthless piece of crap that was branded a rifle. I hated lever actions and swore I never would get another. Then dad gave me a Model 92 Win and my attitude changed.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Help keep our sport going. take a kid outdoors!

My 9422M is probably one of my favorite guns as well. I don't shoot it often, but I take it out of the safe and handle it a lot

Here's my 9422M XTR, and companion .22 Mag., Charter Target Pathfinder. This rifle has been handy for calling coyotes in close, and the Pathfinder carries 2 rounds of shotshells up top for rattlesnakes.

Always liked the looks of the XTR's but never have owned one. Only 94/22 I've got is a Classic. Perfect companion to a Single Six.
