New Winchester .22 lever gun! Snaveba Look!

[Grayfox54]

I stumbled across this video completely by accident. I'M STOKED! 

I have owned a 9422XTR for many years. It's my absolute favorite .22 Rifle. I've always lusted after the 16" Trapper version. But those are super scarce and super expensive. 

I just know Winchester will offer this new Ranger in a Trapper version soon. I WILL BUY ONE! 

Meanwhile this new rifle looks great. I may get one of these too.

Like you, I would really like a Trapper version...but if the price point is near what's mentioned here; I could be tempted for both. LOL!

Price point mentioned is sweet. Seems like it'll be my first lever .22lr

That's good looking rifle. At that price, I'd add a 3rd lever action .22LR to my collection.

Wondering when it’ll be available

I may need to hold one and see how it feels.

Going to Outpost Armory, in Murfreesboro, to get a Max 9 for my Son-in-law, with my daughter. She wants to get one for his birthday. I will see if they have this rifle because I will purchase it if they do. Love lever guns and 22 LR. Have a Henry 38Spl/357 Mag. It is the most favorite rifle I have left. Everyone wants me to get it out when they visit. The 22 would be a good addition.

Not having really looked at Winchesters I’m 22LR before, is the excitement on this because Winchester hasn’t made one in almost 20 years, and the price is better?

How is this different than the 9422?

Maybe we can work a group buy. I have "enough" .22's, but this one might be a nice addition to the herd.

One thing most people don't understand is that the 9422 was Winchester's Top Of The Line .22 Rifle. The absolute best they could build. Forged steel and precision fit. As accurate and as beautiful as they could make. That's why used ones regularly sell for $1200-1500+. 

This new Ranger does seem to have some things in common with the 9422, however it uses a machined billet aluminum receiver and all steel internals. Thus holding the price down. I really don't know any details. I do know it has the Winchester styling which I have always preferred as it simply fits me better than other style lever guns. 

I haven't been this excited about a new gun in years.

Can you really have enough 22’s or lever guns?

Looks like Henry is about to get some competition from Turkey.

Answer:  NOPE!

I sent a link to this thread to some shooting buddies of mine from out of state.  I think there's about to be a "run" on this little fella...............

And it's about time!

I was at Outpost Armory yesterday and did not have time to see if they had one of these lever guns. Walked by the lever gun case and they had several lever guns in stock.

The new Rangers won't be available until August.
