Our Assessment: The Winchester 9422 enjoyed a long production run of 33 years with hundreds of thousands of rifles produced in that time. With its smooth action and Winchester name, it is easy to see why it would be so popular. Still, even rimfire enthusiasts sometimes want a little more power and Winchester produced the 9417 chambered in the more powerful .17 HMR. This cartridge is a necked-down .22 Magnum, producing higher velocities giving it longer range and making it suitable for slightly larger game than the .22 Long Rifle can be used for humanely. Winchester only made 9417s from 2003-2004, so it should interest Winchester collectors as well as fans of the .17 HMR cartridge. Please see our photos and good luck!
