Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca Model 49 in .22 Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR) is a far less common and notably more potent variant of Ithaca’s classic single-shot lever-styled rifle, elevating the original plinker’s cowboy charm into a genuinely capable small-game and varmint tool. While maintaining the same distinctive Old West profile—complete with an external hammer, a lever that actuates the internal falling-block action, and a walnut-finished hardwood stock—the WMR version stands apart for its chambering alone, giving the lightweight rifle significantly more reach, velocity, and terminal performance than its .22 LR counterpart. Built around the same falling-block single-shot mechanism, the Model 49 WMR provides excellent strength and lockup, well-suited to handling the higher pressures of the .22 Magnum cartridge, and this robust design contributes to the rifle’s reputation for reliable function and solid accuracy. Its blued steel barrel, typically around 20 inches, offers a long enough bore to take full advantage of WMR ballistics, producing flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance ideal for varmints, pests, and practical field use. The zinc-alloy receiver—finished to mimic blued steel—helps keep weight down while still delivering years of dependable service, and the simple open sights, consisting of a hooded front post and adjustable rear, provide a clean, effective sight picture well suited for the rifle’s intended ranges. Though still budget-minded in construction, the .22 Magnum Model 49 feels like a step up in capability and purpose, transforming the familiar Western-styled plinker into a serious working rifle. Scarcer than the standard .22 LR version and produced in smaller quantities, the 49 WMR is now appreciated by collectors and shooters alike for its combination of uniqueness, nostalgic design, and surprisingly capable performance in the field.
