Our Assessment: This is a Winchester 9422 XTR Annie Oakley Commemorative, based, of course, on the company’s tried and true Model 94 Lever Action carbine. Annie Oakley was an American sharpshooter who starred in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. This rifle beautifully commemorates the world renowned shooter with a nicely engraved gold plated receiver and a high gloss American walnut stock. The 9422 is chambered for the .22 short, long, or long rifle caliber, making for a fun little plinker or pest control gun. Please see our pictures and good luck! – L.S.
