Have to do a +1 on the Savage MKII.

Bolt action repeater, made the same as it has been for years when it used to be Lakefield. Reliable, and dead accurate. You'd be hard pressed to find a better .22 repeater for the money.

To the OP. Get out and hit some of rhe gun shows, and check out CGN, there are tons of deals on used .22s out there.

I have an older Lakefield MKII in the safe, like new condition, my dad bought at a garage sale for $40. with 2 mags a few years ago. I also found an older Winchester model 74 Semi just sitting in a barn for $30

they are a very good .22 :) i will never sell mine as it was passed down to me from my father... but gotta kick myself, i was at a auction last year that had a couple of mint ones that sold for around $200 i had bid on them, but not over $150, and also a beautiful chrome model i had never seen before, it sold for around $300, it was after that i got on the net and researched them, that chrome model was worth upwards of a $1000 :S even last week i was looking for a nylon 76, which are not cheap either, but found a couple 66's in the states that were still in original box, and were selling for $1000-1500

before you go out and buy a chrome model for 800 do some more research they aren't worth 1000 more like three to four for a good example the more rare ones are the Seneca green and a brighter green model 77 "Walmart" edition there were millions of nylons made but they don't comand the high prices people ask for them I just sold a very good condition nylon 11 bolt for 450 shipped.

To the Op what is you flavour bolt semi lever pump do you want a new gun or used?

^should be possible for $225. :) Well...in fairness, it might get you 1/2 a VQ barrel after shipping/poor exchange rate.

I can highly recommend the Remington Nylon series. I bought a black 66 way back when I was around 18. I got tired of the tube mag and sold it off. Kicked my butt ever since. Bought a 76 (box mag). The rifle functioned well, when the mag did, but I got tired of fiddling with the mag and sold that off. I have had several Cooeye mod. 60s, still have two. My current favourite is my Ruger 10/22.

The Ruger is accurate, rugged" reliable and modifiable if desired.

I won't make the mistake of selling this one off...
