Is $700.00 a good price for a mint Winchester Model 9422 XTR? Thank you! Regardless, I just put one on layaway. It's beautiful, I couldn't pass it up.

That's the price they seem to be going for if you want a really nice example. Enjoy that rifle, they sure are nice little rimfires.

Once you have that beautiful gun at home and in your hands, you will no longer think about the price. I keep mine standing in the corner of the dining room "just in case" but truth be told I just love seeing it every day.
I had one twenty five or thirty years ago and it was a honey. I don't remember what they went for new back then. You could buy a daily newspaper for a dime back then. That same newspaper is a dollar nowadays. So to me that is what the buying power of a dollar is worth comparatively speaking. Too bad wages haven't kept up to the same level as prices. As for the rifle, they are a high quality firearm and sounds to me like a good deal.

9422
Thank you for your input. I forgot to tell you, it has the checkered stock, so that apparently raises the value up a little bit. I'm glad I came across it. I have an affinity for Winchesters, my first rifle was a model 190 when I was around 15-16 yrs. old. Loved it, never cleaned it, didn't really know the importance of that, but never had a problem w/ it. Nice gun, accurate. And then in '06 when SADLY the Winchester plant closed, I bought a 94, made sometime in the 80's, exc. cond. for $500.00 just to have. Also, I bought a Model 70, NIB, .270 WSM, only one left at a store by me. So, I have a few. Maybe one day I'll get a pre-64, I don't know. They just came out w/ a new 94 but not for the working man, it's $1500.00, real fancy! I'll pass on that.

Be sure and post some pics once you get it out of layaway. I could look at rimfire leverguns all day long...especially Winchesters.

Also sadly that's when the prices started going up. I bought my 9422 in '05 for $275. (I thought I overpaid) I kick myself every day that I didn't also get a 9422M while the prices were still low.

Even more sadly, the tooling for the 9422 was completely worn out and quality had declined a lot before they stopped making them in 2005.
A year before they went out of business.
I got mine years ago in 1972.
A matched pair - 9422 serial #F42xx, and 9422M serial #F63xx.
Back then they were made like swiss watches on brand new tooling.

rcmodel, you're right about those early 9422's being built like swiss watches. I recently picked up this like new 1972 model (15xxx) and it is built tight, but buttery smooth. It and my '75 model 9422M seem tighter than my eighties model, and it's no slouch by any stretch of the imagination.

As long as we're posting pics... Mine is a 1985.
