I own a 94/22 XTR in 22lr.
I purchased it from a friend who was in need of quick cash about 18 years ago for a hundred bucks.
At the time, he had told me that his father had purchased it for him, with the 'factory' scope'..... A 4x20mm Weaver.
It shoots incredible, and quickly became my wife's favorite!

I stopped by @RexG's favorite pusher this afternoon. They have a Winchester 9422M Trapper that is an incredibly handy little thing with a 16 1/2-inch barrel. I want one, but I'm having real trouble with the prices they're going for. Will have to keep antennae up.

What were they asking for it?

[OlongJohnson]

$1495, as I recall. Don't think it had box or papers, and it wasn't perfect. There were some light scratches on the left side of the receiver, and someone had installed rings on the dovetails that were held in place with set screws, which left marks from their cup points on the top of the receiver. Or at least I jumped to the conclusion that that's how those circular indentations got there. If you just want a shooter and expect it to get more dings and scratches being carried in the woods, it would probably be OK, but I know I'd be bugged by that stuff. Especially the marks on the top of the receiver, since I don't see any reason those should have needed to happen. @RexG says he can usually talk them down on price if he's serious about buying.

Wow. Had no idea they were going that high. I have a 9422M that I bought shortly before they stopped making them. I shot a lot of prairie dogs with it and carried around the Ohio woods some. I stopped taking it out when I realized it was probably worth twice what I paid for it.

[OlongJohnson]

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out what, other than prettiness and not needing trigger work, would make it four times as good as a CZ 512 Carbine.

Asking price and selling price aren’t always the same. $1495 is very optimistic for a 9422M. I have seen them sell locally in the $750-$850 range.

That's about the range I thought they had been going last time I looked.

[OlongJohnson]

$1500 is optimistic for that particular one, but a really clean Trapper brings a sizeable premium.

Bid up to $1850:

You need to stop lying to yourself.
