Did Winchester make a 22 magnum lever action rifle?

Answer 1

Winchester made a few models of the .22 cal. lever action. One particular model the model 9422 will handle the long rifle and long cartridges interchangeably, or the special .22 WMR, magnum, version that handles the WMR round only. The 9417 model is chambered for the 17 HMR round only.

Winchester also made the model 255 in .22 WMR from 1967 to 1970. Harder to find than the newer 9422, but a very good rifle.

Just adding that Winchester actually introduced and produced the model 255 in 1964 instead of beginning in 1967. My father works for Winchester and he looked it up in the book for me while at work. I recently picked one up at a garage sale for 25 dollars in excellent shape. I never see them for sale always the 9422 which they made tons of. the 255 is a more rare rifle indeed.
