SpacemanSpiff Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I posted the 9422M when I first purchased it. I have installed the new rear sight and im waiting for good weather to sight it in. Tonight I decided to take out the model 61 for a little comparison. The model 9422 came out in 1972 and the action is nearly identical to the older 61. They are truly works of art. The triggers are excellent on both rifles. Its almost as much fun to fondle and look at them as it is to shoot them. Like the old adage goes...they don’t make em like they used to! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats called the win-tuff stock. They weren’t made for long. Quite collectable these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airedale Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Congratulations, you own a couple of first class rifles right there chambered in one of my favorite cartridges. I have a connection with the model 61, my Dad purchased one in 22 mag when they first came out, that is the rifle I cut my teeth on for Woodchuck hunting and I have fond memories of that 61. I have a couple of maggies myself, one in a nice Ruger 77-22 Mag bolt action varmint and the other is a Remington 597 autoloader, they both shoot very well and surprisingly the Remington hangs right in there with the Ruger accuracy wise and is a favorite of mine. 22 mag ammo has been seriously upgraded through the years with both accuracy and high quality bullets. I have some pretty high end varmint rifles but most times that Remington 597 is my go to rifle for woods varmint hunting and has proven to be up to the task on both Coyotes and Fox.
