To be fair I’ve only ever tried blr’s in center fire cartridges and just couldn’t get past triggers. I have couple 9422’s (22lr & 22wmr) and love them…very smooth and surprisingly accurate.

Someone will probably jump you for opening a thread thats 12 years old. Theyre a very fine gun and the XTRs just that much finer. Great find in that condition and it will continue to appreciate in value and desirability.
I have both a bl22 and a 9422 and 9422M. They are all awesome I love shooting them all. First the bl22 I have - has the plastic/composite stock, it is light, quick, durable and accurate (although the stock and for grip does mark up easily) and a blast to shoot. The action definitely is not near as smooth as the 9422 but it travel is far less I have a fair sized hand and can cycle a round through the chamber without removing my hand off the stock just using my fingers which is great. The 9422 on the other hand - other than the stroke on to cycle a round is a little longer, it is all the above with a wayyy smoother action and built to be the last .22 you will ever need. My kids love the bl22 and I shoot the Winchester.
Lol, I’m new didn’t realize it was that old! Not much wonder the prices they were quoting were so low! My bad
I wouldnt worry about it. If they dont like it they can just move on!! Great gun to own and especially in the Magnum model. I believe theyre much harder to aquire than the 22LR. Not sure if its due to the numbers produced or folks hang on to the magnums.
Thank you! As far as the 9422M I think it is a combination of both! I’m currently looking for a 9417 & the 9410 and to find those is like finding hens teeth!
