I'll propbably regret this.
I was on another local site reading comments of guys getting great prices for their 9422s. I listed my 9422 XTR classic at $700 and it sold in less than 12 hours. Not bad for a rifle I traded an old BPS 12 ga for. I bought a Savage markII GL just to have a 22 handy (left hand bolt ugly wood stock) for under $220. Now I have to keep my eyes open for my next toy.

Iceman - I saw more 9422, model 61 and 63 Winchesters at a recent Dallas gun show that ever before. The nicer 9422 rifles were listed at about what you sold your for.
I also saw two stainless Colt King Cobra .357 6" revolvers for sale at $1,300 each. These were in good condition, so now I have a better idea of what my NIB NRA Centennial Stainless King Cobra will be worth.

I was just surprised that it sold that quickly. It was in good shape but had a few rust freckles that I told the buyer about and no haggling about pricing was needed. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for others people want to get rid of. Here are a couple pics

Re: I'll propbably regret this.
Speaking of regret - here's my *** story on selling a 9422.
About six years ago, picked up a Win 9422.. Had heavy freckling on the receiver and barrel. Wood was faded and scratched. Looked pretty bad.
It was going to be a field rifle so just cleaned it up a little. Shot great and didn't have to worry about it losing any collector value. Kids had a blast with it too.
Well, a few years passed and came across one that was just like new. Not a scratch, speck, or rub on it, for $350. Bought it on the spot so my daughter would have a nice one to shoot instead of "Rusty".
So I thought I'd list the old beater one up for sale. Took some 0000 steel wool and kroil to the metal and it cleaned up decent. Sold it that afternoon for $400
So here I was with a pristine 9422 - I just sold a beat up one for $200 more than I gave for it - I should have been pretty happy.
Then that evening it kind of sank in. The new one was for the daughter, but when I told the news she just said,
"I didn't want a new one, I want the one I had. That was my first rifle"
Made me sad.
Called and offered the guy his money back plus $100 - but he had heard about the plant closing and the Winchester prices going up so he wouldn't budge.
There is a happy ending though.
I took my beat up Henry H001 (one of my favorites and one she shot a lot with, too) and completely reworked it.
Shortened the stock, chopped barrel, polished the trigger, polished the receiver, and added a new aluminum butt plate, etc...
matched her little nickle Colt Frontier Scout perfectly. She was very happy that they now looked like a matched pair and it fit her like a glove.
I kinda miss that Henry now, too.
Edited to add. I can't believe they censored the word "S O B" (variation of cry)
