What type of gun is a 22 magnum rimfire or centerfire?
A 22 Magnum (or Winchester 22-WMR) is rimfire cartridge, same with 17HMR and the 22-WRF. <><><> The .22 Jet, which is a centerfire, was also known as the .22 Magnum Centerfire- but they are rather rare.

Yes, if somebody says ".22 rifle" they almost certainly mean a rifle chambered for the .22 long rifle (or .22LR) round. The .22LR is a rimfire, as are the .22 short, .22 long, .22 CB, the .22WRF (Winchester Rim-Fire), and even the .22 Magnum (properly called the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire or .22 WMR). There are other calibers of rifles that use bullets about the same bore size, but they have different names. They are higher-powered calibers. They are centerfire rounds, not rimfires. Examples would be the .22 Hornet; .222 and .223 Remington, .220 Swift, and .22-250.

What is the recent value of astra cadix 22 magnum 9 shot?
Imported to the US from 1963-1968, company closed in 1997 when owner was killed by Basque separatists. Can find no listing of .22 Magnum, only .22 LR and some centerfire calibers. Limited supply of spare parts. Current sale prices around $150 for a good condition .22 LR gun. Just not that many sales to compare to, comments on the gun are positive, just expect a limited life due to lack if parts.
