Winchester 9422 date of manufacture?

[22forever]

Just going to pick up this 9422. Wondering what the date of manufacture is, S/N starts with F209. Also wondering of a value, I'll posts some pics when I get it home. TIA

My best guess (only a guess) is 1972.

Beautiful rifles, if it is in excellent condition at least $800.00 -1000.00
