Remingtons Nylon 66 When introduced in January 1959, words like radical, revolutionary, innovative and futuristic were just some of the adjectives used to describe what was to become the most successful rimfire rifle in the history of Remington Arms.īy the time production ceased in 1991, more than 1 million had been produced. That was pretty expensive for a.22 rimfire back then, but oh what a bargain it was Over its 33-year production span, it was offered in more than a dozen iterations ranging from a standard grade with walnut stock, WinCam and WinTuff laminates, Legacy, Trapper and XTR Classic versions, to 25th Anniversary editions and commemoratives.įortunately, the 9422 has not been out of production long, so they are not at all hard to find on the used gun market, and its not that unusual to find examples in absolute mint condition or even brand new. The 9422 was offered in both.22 Long Rifle and.22 Magnum (WMR) and, if memory serves, retailed initially at 99.95. The machining, the wood-to-metal fit, the lustrous blue and the effortless way the action cycled was on a quality level I never expected.Įventually, after more than one shake-up in management and corporate philosophy, the company once again began producing the quality guns on which they had built their reputation, but it was the 9422 that set the tone for that transformation. So when I first heard the company would be unveiling a lever-action rimfire rifle in the tradition of its iconic Model 94 centerfire, I was skeptical.Īll doubts vanished when I saw this rifle for the first time. When the 9422 was introduced, Winchester was trying to recover from its decision made almost a decade earlier to cheapen its guns, most notably the Model 70. Its a subjective thing, of course, but I can almost reflexively think of five outstanding models that are well worth seeking on the used gun market. Im sure most hunters can come up with at least a couple of discontinued guns theyd love to have a second chance at owning.

Unfortunately, all guns have a limited lifespan in what can be a fickle marketplace, and often their success or failure has nothing to do with their merits. Some really were and went on to achieve success and longevity, but most proved to be little more than minor variations of existing designs.
