First note the various grades of the 9422. That has a considerable impact. They "were" a great low cost rifle. Sold for very little and are an excellent plinker. Fit and finish especially on the higher grades is quite excellent.
Just a very pretty rifle often with select wood and nice metal finish.
I like the Annie Oakley tribute rifle; wish I had one unfired.
They remind me somewhat of the early John Wayne Commemoratives I bought and sold in the early 90’s.
You can shoot the heck out of a 9422 and as long as it’s cared for you can get that money you mention just for the standard model!
Generally speaking they are no longer a deal unless you luck into one for about what someone bought it for new. Be a great yard sale find.
