Yes it does look alot like the Savage mdl99. I laid it next to my old mans Savage 99s(.243,.300,.308) and it looks good in that company of rifles...lol!

I was not aware of Ruger making the lever action .22 when they did it.
I think a lot of potential buyers never knew this gun existed.
Perhaps Ruger could make another run and do a little better job of advertising it.
Make mine a regular .22 LR. Magnum ammo costs too much for plinking and a bit much for squirrels.

I always thought the 9622s looked more like a Savage 99 than a Winchester.......Both had a "rotary"magazine, and were ahead of their time!

Went to a gun shop a few years ago to buy a Cooper and wound up with a 96/22. TT Shooter reworked the trigger. Had it out at the range yesterday and had fun shooting a Birchwood Casey spinner. I did get the Cooper later.
