:t Since your wife doesn't mind, GO FOR IT! That I know of, they were only made for 2 years which should help with the collector value (I could care less, mine's a shooter). Picked mine up for $360 on sale. The 9422M is really hard to find. Was visiting my bro-in-law in Md. on Super Sunday. They live near the Bass Pro Shop. Went in to look around and there they were. 2 9422 mags. My son and I grabed them both. Now both of us have them in 22lr, 22 mag & 17hmr. They all shoot great and the fit and finish are very good. If you like lever actions, this is the one to get.
Just my $0.02.

Jackz,
Do you need one in 22 mag? You sure do and 22 lr also. As AK said, these rifles are very addictive. My 22lr shoots Dynapoints very well and at $9.00 a box of 500 from Wally World you can have a lot of enexpensive fun. :Blasting_

:t Glad to hear you got your 9417. Your right, they can be a little expensive to shoot. I can get 17gr Hornady V-Max locally for $7.50 a box. That's why I say you might want to pick up a 9422 in 22lr. My sons and I love to load them up with 15 rounds and bounce tin cans around the range. We don't do that very often with the 17's. We did mount scopes on our 94's to see what ammo shot best in them but have since gone back to iron sights. We all have bolt actions in lr,mag, and hmr's with scopes on them when we get serious about accuracy or longer range hunting. In the early small game season when the leaves are on the trees, the 94's are the rifles we take since shots are usually not very long.
The V-Max bullets in my experiance have always broke up on contact with the ground. I can't say for the TNT's, hollow points or XTP's. Haven't really used them much.
Since you have the hook baited, set the hook and reel 'em in. You'll like the 22 mag too.

Have fun and ENJOY!
