It's probably economics. How many of us have the money to burn on a sweet, ok yes absolutly beautiful 22 lever for a grand, when you can go to Gander mnt. and pick up a 22 lr for about 100 clams.
Winchester Says Good-Bye To The 9422

I have the first 9422M sold in El Paso county, Texas with a seral number under 10,000 im absolutely mint condition!
There was a waiting list for them when I was called by a friend who was the manager of a sporting goods store In El Paso, and told they had gotten in two rifles. The two were a 9422, and a 9422M and I was asked which I wanted, to which I replied, "BOTH!" He said I could only have one of them and I'd have to come in on sunday when the store was closed so they wouldn't have a run on the store, because they wanted to keep one to show, till they could get a steady supply. Nice little rifle, but I still don't know why I wanted it! I've had it over 30 yrs, and have fired two boxes od shells through it. I bought four boxes when I bought the rifle, and still have two boxes! :lol: :lol: :lol:
