Looks like Winchester is making a 22LR lever gun again. Walnut stock and MSRP of $420..
The take down looks just like the 94/22..which is kind of what I don't like in a take down. Not that its bad. I never use that feature on mine. I'm hoping it shoots 22L and 22short...I can't see why not. https://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/ranger/overview.html |

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless.

I like it. I’ll probably pick one up once they’re available.

I would give that a try. Nothing more fun than acting like a 5 year old cowboy making cans dance.
Seems like a nice alternative to a Henry, which I love but want another 22 lever gun with open sights. |

I hear you on the takedown design. It’d be slick if it was like the Browning design interrupted barrel threads and a mag tube to lock it.
I have a 9422 and a 39A, actually thinking of parting with the 39A. Crazy what they go for now. Sadly I think this “Winchester” is another Turkish import. I do like it better than the Zamak metal Henry rifles or the half zamak alloy Browning BL22. The “lower” on the BL22 is not steel like the outer shell receiver. |

Meh, love my Henry. I forget the model but it's large loop, octagon barrel, and a nice walnut stock. Very very accurate.

I handled the Ranger at Shot Show just the other day, it seems nice but I am not sure where it is manufactured.

But the Turks are capable of making great firearms, it all depends on the specifications set by the customer/importer. |

Would be nice to have a no-wrench-needed takedown knob or ring. But could see the pressed threaded bushing in the aluminum receiver pulling loose by over tightening, which may still happen with a big fist torquing on a screwdriver.
Does look better than the Henry with the big receiver screws. The last common receiver concept Winchester did was the 150/250, 270, and 190/290 rimfire rifles. Same one used in the lever, pump and semi auto versions. Cast and machined aluminum with most examples holding up well after 50+ years if internals kept relatively clean. And for most of the production run all were marked for S, L and LR. |

If it's the same quality as a Tisas I will give it a try. Unfortunately I don't think that will be the case.

Nice to see this one..
I have a like new 94/22 made in 1975. It sat unfired in safe 40 years until I talked my buddy out of it. It's a good shooter, just not as good as my cheap Henry H001. I beat up the Henry and cherish the Wimchester. |

I've kinda had my eye on lever 22lr for a bit and this looks interesting
Takedown would be betterer Anything else to look at other than Henry? Nothing against them |

Nothing against them View Quote New? I'd go with the Henry H001 or the Winchester Ranger. Used, "BOAT" and get a Marlin 39 or a Winchester 94/22...my buddys have 39s. I prefer the 94. You can't beat Henry's customer service. |

Wife wanted the Henry .22 for a gallery gun thing.
I believe it's a spraypainted zinc receiver with other odd alloy parts here and there. Octagonal barrel is cool and heavy. My son loves it. Getting into trick shot stuff a little. The lever is either flaking or corroding. Not really impressed with the materials although the function is just fine. I'd echo what was said about getting the Winchester as a keeper/heirloom while recognizing the Henry asca shooter/toy. |

Looking forward to this new gun. Although it's made in Turkey I really like that they are trying to make a quality lever action 22 at an affordable price. I might be willing to pay more for it if was made in the USA though.

Is the receiver and barrel band pot metal?

Ah, yes, an anodized aluminum receiver.
It's not for me, thanks. |

I was considering one of these for my son, but I ended up getting him a Browning BL-22 Micro Midas instead. I will keep an eye out on these though as they start to trickle out. Might make a good beater gun.

Anyone seen any of these in shops yet? I'm nor seeing any in stock with the major distributors.

I think one of the major problems with America today is not enough families sit down to a big plate of squirrels momma just fried up.
