I'd like to find a nice slide gun that shoots .22magnum.
BTW, I accidentally bought three boxes of .22WRF thinking they were .22mag. It seems they're not. Ok, so, will they shoot in my .22mag Marlin semi-auto or Ok in my Winchester bolt action .22?
Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, .22 WRF ammo WILL fit in a .22 Magnum chamber, but NOT the other way around. Hopefully, someone else here can confirm, as I am not 100% certain on this.

No, you can't use .22 WRF ammo in a .22 WMR firearm. I'm sure a local gun shop would offer you fair value for the ammo, though.
As for the rifle you seek, I think the only slide-action .22 Magnum on the market at this time is made by Henry.

Check to see if Rossi still makes the slide action rifle you are looking for

iirc, the wrf is longer than a .22lr and probably will not chamber correctly. I’d be reluctant to try to fire in a .22 mag. best thing to do is put on a shelf and find a friend with a winchester Model 90 in .22 wrf or a model 62 in .22wrf.
