New Winchester Ranger .22 Lever Action Rifle at SHOT Show 2024

Winchester launched their new Ranger .22 lever action rifle at SHOT Show 2024.

[@montecraig7032]

I have never understood why people unshoulder lever actions to work the lever.

[@stog9821]

Me neither. For that matter, you shouldn’t unsolder a bolt action either.

They aren't familiar with using them, that's why. Or if they are, they weren't taught technique.

[@lmbear]

They are ignorant, and don't have experience to know any better.

[@WayStedYou]

some of the clunkier ones are much easier to actuate like that, but with a .22 they pretty much all work easily

[@johnmccarthy6999]

I've also often wondered why the same people look up at the same time the trigger is pulled to see if they have hit the target. Guess it is true, you cannot teach a crab to walk straight.

I’m looking forward to buying the lever action as well. I’ve got a Henry and a Browning lever action 22. Nothing has come close to the Browning though. This Winchester Lever action will be quite similar to the Henry, with the exception of the action being billet aluminum.

If a machine shop is milling the aluminum receivers already, why can't they just insert a steel piece and machine that ? What am I missing here ?

[@L.V-Rider]

It is lighter. Time to machine. This reduce the cost. Bits and machines last longer. Replacement and maintenance and repairs are less, reducing the cost. And if you say you will be willing to pay for steel receivers, why did they stop production of the rifles with steel receivers? Like many of the well made but more expensive rifles of other brands as well. Because people ran to lower cost rifles, no matter how it is made. You know, like that low cost fake receiver cover things with plastic parts all over it.

Good luck finding parts in the future. Winchester will require you to send it in and they, like Ruger, will strip out any custom work, and return it to stock. No parts returned.

@@sjhoff No, Henry .22 is made as cheap as possible. Just look as that cheap painted pewter type alloy receiver cover to make it to look like a real rifle and the plastic fittings where it should be metal.

@@L.V-Rider Bud, everyone has been doing that with .22 receivers for years. You aren't likely to get people to buy milled steel receivers in the quantity to justify production costs. Sorry, I wish everyone made things like Winchester, Remington, Marlin, Colt, etc. did in the early 1900's, but that isn't reality. Especially since it is not a necessity in a .22 rifle. Ruger 10/22 has similar upper receiver material and a plastic bottom end and trigger housing. As far as Henry, give them a little respect for staying American and not being like Winchester and the rest, flooding the US with cheap products from the Islamic caliphate of Turkey. You think it doesn't make the gun grabbers happy that it is hurting domestic makers and domestic production?

​@@sjhoff "everyone has been doing that with .22 receivers for years." - So why do you complain if Winchester do it? Saying : "Just a cheap ploy to soak up dollars ...." and then say "but that isn't reality. Especially since it is not a necessity in a .22 rifle." "As far as Henry, give them a little respect for staying American .... " - But you are just to happy to use cellphones, computer and many other items the East. And why should I ? I look at the product if it is quality or not, not who made it. Other comments on here complain about "slave labour" in the manufacturing and pretend to feel sorry for those workers but they don't want to give them a opportunity to earn a living. This is the internet, everybody is not American, I am not. So you want to take the food out of the mouths for people like me. It is all about you, isn't it? And yes, I have a Winchester 9422, not because it is American made, but because it is a quality item I like.

O boy Winchester puts out another junk gun made in Turkey . Fit and finish are crappy and how long will Winchester stand behind it ? Buy American the job you save mite be your own. Boycott Winchester until they move back to the USA. Check out Henry"s H001 classic its a much better lever gun and they stand behind it as long as you own it. MADE IN AMERICA OR NOT MADE AT ALL Love my Henry

What a terrible presentation, he couldn't even get the gun back together

[@boogermeister1]

Where is it made?

Turkey There are more than 1.3 million people living in modern slavery in Turkey, which ranks fifth among 151 countries in which modern slavery is the most prevalent, according to the results of the 2023 Global Slavery Index. The study, which concerns data in 2021, was produced by the Australian-based human rights organization Walk Free

I figured. Not interested. @@danmarcell3167

@@danmarcell3167 And Americans are just to willing to buy items like that. Besides, how do you know if this factory falls under the same category? And, what you call slavery is a outcome for them else they have no, zero income. Other people envy them for having a job. Stop comparing 1st world country way if living to developing countries.

@@L.V-Rider you do understand that it says "Forced Slavery" which means there is no choice..no financial gain at all... and a gun at the back of your head for yout whole life... I can't imagine anyone being envious... holy shit ...that's so sick

@@danmarcell3167 Do you believe everything you read on the internet or in books on on any other media? Do you believe all the propaganda from human rights organisations? That is a lie. Have you been there to verify yourself ? I can tell you a lot about propaganda you don't know.
