It makes me sad to hear they’re going to aluminum receivers. My Father gave me this for Christmas in 1980. One of my most prized rifles. It probably has well over 100,000 rounds though it and it still in great working condition. I doubt the new ones will do that.

i was gonna buy one when they first came out but my mom and dad beat me to it and gave me one for Xmas. That was in the early seventys. I was in high school and it was my first .22–. AND I still have it and always will. But it mite be cool to have one of the new ones to. will prob have to try one out.

My story as well

Yes, they are produced in Turkey.
I was interested until I saw where they are being made, plus the alloy receiver.
Priced close to the Henry, nothing to write home about imo.

A 94/22 was the first firearm I ever purchased, in the 90's, and it was very nice! Unfortunately I sold it because it wasn't very accurate, it was just ok. Sure was fun! Shoulda kept it...

No doubt it will look like a Winchester and probably be minute of angle milk jug at 50 yards but common sense tells me you’re not going to get much for $419. Hope I’m wrong.

Why didn't they just use Miroku like they did with the 1892, 94, and the 1885s~?

One of my biggest regrets as far as rifles go is not buying a new 9422 when they were still in production. Was spending all my money at that time on custom 1911s & shooting IPSC.... Dad & I were in a gun shop at a larger town several years ago, just tire-kicking mostly. He found a 9422M in the dealer's used rack, and was so taken with it that he bought it & a scope for it. He'd shot Winchester M61 pump rifles since before I was born, was on his 2nd on at the time. I've hung onto his worn old 61 & the 9422M, and still wish I'd have had the sense to buy my own 9422 in 22LR...

When I spotted my early production virgin 9422M a couple of years back I grabbed it. Nice wood and the action is smooth as glass~!

Never like the checkering on the XTRs. I like the 70s version with no checkering.

Well it’s not like they’re building them for bench rest shooting lol. Or even everyday hunt gun. but probably more of a look what I got/ displaying a gun cabinet maybe take it out ever so often and shoot

Got one of each. Agreed on the checkering

This new rifle is in NO WAY a 94/22. It's some cost cutting Turkish gun called the "range".

 

[COLT45SA]

Have a Marlin 39a sitting in "jail" right now. One of the last ones built, I suspect.. Probably 99% condition.

They're like cars. You just have to pray that the previous owner(s) treated it with loving care. My 39-A was made in 1957 and looks like it was kept in a museum~!!

I had an XTR years after buying my early 70s 9422. I found the checkering uch too aggressive and not comfortable like its older brother's stocks.

I don't think the general gun buying public are willing to pay $1200 for a lever .22 RF. There was a gun/ammo/reloading estate sale near me two weeks ago that had the original 94/22 for sale and that thing went for $1600. There were about a dozen different bidders until the price went past $800, then it was down to 2 guys.

Depending on condition and configuration, $1600 isn’t necessarily high.
