Try Bi-Mart Coop. They've generally got a good selection of Henry's and Savage bolt actions at reasonable prices. I own a 9422M, it's the crown jewel of my collection. Those are pretty hard to find and the last one I saw for sale locally (cabelas) was $1,100! Fortunately mine was a hand me down and it will be going to my kiddo in the future.
Cabelas is pretty reliable about pricing desirable used guns at inflated prices. A perfect (collector grade, box, papers) 9422M might even bring $1500. But $6-700 right now is moveable price at a gunshow for a decent one. There was never a smoother lever-action .22 WMR ever built. Fine barrels made them shoot straight too.
This gun was Winchester's Flagship in their 1972 overhaul in manufacturing. The motto: "Winchester The Way You Want It". It included a radical and beneficial re-vamp of the Model 94 itself (.30-30). Tighter, heavier lever mechanism, wonderful wood meld to metal, new barrel machinery, etc. All conveyed to the "brand new little brother" : the 9422 series.
