Blunderbuss Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've always fancied one of these for a bit of fun. What kind of accuracy do you get from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 What is it?? It's a Winchester 9422, as per the title. A slightly scaled down version of the original Winchester model 94 in .22 LR instead of the original .30-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slightly scaled down version of the original Winchester model 94 in .22 LR instead of the original .30-30. BB, don't forget the 22M version and there was a few 9417s made (17hmr). It tends to shoot any ammo! What I have tried in it any way! Eley, Winnie and CCI loads all group very well, as good as any other sporting 22 I have owned! U.

I'd always heard they were a little less accurate, whilst still being plenty good enough for field work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Seeing that rifle brings back happy memories. Back in the 1980's, I was a member of a gun club, and I purchased a Winchested 9422 rifle. It was a lovely little gun. Very accurate and well built. If I remember correctly, it held 15 rounds, fed through the tubular magazine. I part ex'd it for something else, but wish I had kept it now.

humperdingle Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I had one, but it didn't have the chequering... Is that the 'Xtra' version? Great fun to shoot, and it took a few bunnies, too Only problem is that I feel a scope spoils the look and general feel. Apart from that, they're great wee guns. Got mine for £150, too... Bargain!

gixer1 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I am lucky enough to own a 9422 and a 9422M - both are just as accurate as the CZ 452 style I got rid of Beautiful to look at, simple mechanisms that just don't seem to fail no matter how dirty they get, and they are tiny in comparison to most other rifles. The only bad points I'd say are that the metal parts get small rust spots easily and that putting a scope on them ruins the lines of them...

Thats a nice fox. How well does the M group?? Always wanted one! Yes, as good as the two bolt guns I have owned! A Krico bolt, a Win69a,then there was the Rem527 and 1022. As it,s my only 22 at the mo and I sell alot of rabbit it has to cut the mustard so to speak or it would be gone! I do take the scope off for a walk and it does very well on the irons which are set and never go out! The scope once returned and one turn of the mount screws has the scope bang on just as when removed U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question! I did know,,,,, I think mine predates the Xtra version??? It is a trapper version but which grade escapes me just now. U.

gixer1 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 The 22mag groups very well, I was shooting it with two other members off here when I first got it and it was shooting around a 1 1/2-2" group at 80 - 90 yards. As for the irons - I couldn't hit bu66er all with the irons on the 22mag but myself and the 2 other members (nipper and Reidzer) set up about 25 clays on the ground at about 30 yards when I got the 22LR and it was not too bad on irons - I was consistently breaking the clays after a bit of practice although I didnt think it (read "I") was accurate enough for bunny bashing - as I say this could've been down to me. as for the chequering - my 22LR has no chequering where as my mag does - not sure about the xtr bit as I thought my 22LR was an xtr SLLR but I'd be lying if I said I knew one way or the other! The 22LR does have SLLR on the barrel though ( for short, long and LR 22 ammo type) I really think to myself - "why don't other people buy these" as you get a better mag capacity than most 22's, the round cycling is faultless and they are solid. I would add to my list of cons above though in that you need to lift the rifle to rack it if you are shooting prone which means taking your eye off the target, and the mag loading can be a pain in a vehicle. I never put mods on mine as I didn't want to ruin the lines of them anymore and the 22 mag is a touch loud although the report is a strange bang as apposed to the "crack" of a cf rifle - I would say its more shotgun sounding.

Regards, Gixer Thats good going in Mag Mine says SL&LR on it too, think I can get 20+shorts in mine. I clean mine if it needs it or not once a decade I use my home made patch lube to smother the steel in to prevent rustingg. it is melted beef fat, I got the fat from a butcher and then add olive oil. It sets but not hard and melts to the touch and flows. It is kind to the skin compared to the bought stuff. Anyway, no rust! When shooting prone try tipping the gun on it's side a little but work the lever hard so the empty don't fall back in! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
