Lever action 22 recommendations

[Can-down]

A friend of a friend of mine had a real scruffy 94/22 at the gun show last weekend. I mean it looks like it has gun leprosy or something, it's so....yeah.

But they had cleaned up the wood nice, and assured me that it functioned, and at half the price, or less, than a nice one, it was hard to pass up.

Man, it's now by far my favourite lever 22. Smooth, and a nice lever throw. A very satisfying gun. I'm just going to clean up and oil the metal, and throw a few coats of my old buddies "secret" stock oil on it that he gave me a bit of, and leave it at that.

The 9422 is my favourite and getting a scruffy one at a good price is a win-win because you save some cash and end up with a gun your not afraid to knock around and use!

Sorry! I want to be able to hit a pop can pretty consistently at 75yds with a small scope. How about that?

how about this it will very with ammo with gun if you want one with accuracy potential buy a win 94/22 marlin 39 or a bl 22
if you want pot metal and plastics crap buy one of the new generation ones
it is really that simple

The Marlin 39A, in a few iterations, has been around since 1897 and they don't often come up for sale.
There is a reason for this.
It's best to find an original JM version.

winchester 9422 or Marlin 39 are the only choice if you really want the best out there,AND willcontinue to go up in value..
the Bl-22 is nice too and still made,just will never have the same value as the other two.
