Where could one find a new good pump .22 mag rifle?

Usually they are found in gun stores...!   ;D   ;D   ;D

I'm sorry I couldn't resist that.  ::)

The only good pump rifle in 22 Magnum, in my opinion, is the Winchester Model 61 chambered in .22 Magnum Rim Fire.

There have been other attempts to build pump style rifles  in .22 Magnum, but, again in my opinion, they have all been less than adequate for the cartridge.

If you are really looking for a .22 magnum rifle, in the pump configuration, you will find the Winchester Model 61 in .22 magnum is priced very high. I have seen them priced from $1300.00 to $2000.00 and that is just too much, even though the rifle is an exquisit creation from Winchester.

The Winchester 9422M is still available at fairly decent prices if you want a good .22 Magnum rifle, although is is a lever gun.

I have a Winchester model 61 in .22 Magnum and one in .22 Long Rifle and I wouldn't sell either, for any price.

Our sponsor Henry Repeating Arms offers a pump in .22 mag.  I have never seen one, but were I looking for a pump mag I think this one would get a good look.

  I hope they have done some major changes to them, cause the one i had was a jaming/misfireing/cartridge sticking POS.  Henry took it back, and didn't want to send me another, saying they "prefered" i take one of their levers in WMR instead.  I did just that, and it's a GREAT lever 22WMR that i like a lot.

AFAIK, Henry has discontinued the .22 Mag chambering in their H003 pump rifles, leaving only the LR version.
 
There are really not many other good, NEW, .22 mag pump rifles being made today - although there are some lesser quality top-eject Winchester 1890/1906 clones out of South America & China.
 
The long-discontinued Winchester Model 61 .22 Mag is pricey because it's become a cult/collector's item.
 
I would advise you google/look for a NIB Browning BPR-22 in .22 Mag - which should be findable for about $4-500 or so.

FWIW, Henry still has the 22mag pump listed on their web page.

My first choice would be the previously recommended Browning. Very nice gun. It's also full sized meaning it doe. Not "feel" like a 22....

I too have long wanted a 22M lever. Really wanted the Marlin. It's the single 1894 I do not or have not owned. I passed on a couple Winchesters and regret the decisions. I had a couple Henry's in my hands and passed. I don't know, they just did not do it for me....
