New Winchester.22lr levergun

[fisheadgib]

I just read that Winchester debuted a new .22lr levergun at the shot show. With an MSRP of 419.99, I think that they will sell a few. If I didn't already have a Henry, I would have one ordered by now. Hopefully in a year or two they will make it in .22mag and I will snag one.

I wonder where they had these made? The wildcats are Turkish made, I’d bet these are too by the looks…..

I didn't think of that but you're probably right, at that price they're likely made by someone else. My 1895 was made for Winchester by Miroku.

What safety?

He says there will be multiple models coming. A 16'' barrel and drilled for a Williams peep instead of scope grooves would be harder to pass on.....

Saw a video and it looked like it had a Marlin style cross bolt safety. I could be wrong.

Pin for a bolt/lever stop, and a pin for take down.

Ahhhhhh, ok. I guess I’ll have to take a peek then, but I don’t think it’ll ever replace my Marlin 39.

I own one of the original 94/22's. Nice little gun but it won't function with shorts with a habit of jamming with the spent cases falling back inside the action every fourth or fifth shot so just use with LR's and Longs. With a red dot sight on it it is good for small vermin. The takedown screw has a habit of working loose so needs to be kept an eye on. Sometimes gets used rat shooting with CCI shot cartridges. Had it for some years and quite like it.
