Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 9422 was introduced in 1972 as a modern rimfire counterpart to the company’s legendary Model 1894 lever-action centerfire rifles. Designed to capture the handling characteristics, balance, and styling of the classic Model 94 while chambering economical .22 rimfire cartridges, the 9422 quickly gained a reputation as one of the finest .22 lever-action rifles produced in the modern era. Built with Winchester’s traditional attention to detail, including a forged receiver, smooth lever operation, and quality walnut stocks, the Model 9422 became a favorite among hunters, recreational shooters, and Winchester collectors. The Legacy variant continued this tradition with upgraded styling and features before Winchester discontinued Model 9422 production in 2004.
This Winchester Model 9422 Legacy is a desirable later-production example chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, offering exceptional versatility in a classic lever-action package. Featuring a takedown-style design, checkered walnut furniture, hooded front sight, grooved receiver, and nearly complete original finish, this rifle presents in excellent condition with a bright 10/10 bore and crisp mechanical function. Combining the handling qualities of Winchester’s historic lever guns with the affordability and enjoyment of rimfire shooting, this Model 9422 Legacy represents a highly collectible modern Winchester that will appeal to both dedicated Winchester enthusiasts and shooters alike.
