Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 9422M is the magnum-chambered variant of Winchester’s beloved 9422 series, a rimfire lever-action rifle that closely mirrored the styling and handling of the company’s famed centerfire lever guns. Introduced in 1972, the 9422 line was created to offer shooters a small-caliber lever-action with the same balance, fit, and finish as Winchester’s centerfire rifles, making it ideal both as a training rifle for younger shooters and as a companion piece for experienced outdoorsmen. The 9422M was chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), giving it greater velocity, flatter trajectories, and improved downrange performance compared to the standard .22 Long Rifle version. This made it especially useful for varmint control and small-game hunting, where the added punch of the .22 Magnum was advantageous. Built with a forged steel receiver, high-quality walnut stocks, and a smooth operating lever-action system, the rifle quickly developed a reputation for durability, accuracy, and excellent craftsmanship. Aesthetically and mechanically, the 9422M reflected Winchester’s attention to detail during an era when rimfire rifles were often viewed as utilitarian tools rather than heirloom-quality firearms. The rifle featured a tubular magazine beneath the barrel, holding 11 rounds of .22 Magnum, and a hammer safety system that mirrored the operation of Winchester’s centerfire lever rifles, allowing users to practice with nearly identical handling characteristics. Early production rifles are especially prized for their deep bluing and finely finished walnut, with later production still maintaining high standards compared to many competitors. Production of the 9422 line continued until 2005, when rising costs and changes in manufacturing made it too expensive to produce at a competitive price point. Today, the Winchester 9422M is considered one of the finest rimfire lever-actions ever built, admired by collectors and shooters alike for its smooth action, classic looks, and the practical versatility offered by the .22 Magnum cartridge. Its blend of elegance, utility, and Winchester’s legendary lever-action heritage ensures its lasting status as one of the most desirable rimfire rifles of the 20th century.
