I found this J.C. Higgins Model 44 LeverMatic .22 S/L/LR at a local gun shop. The stock varnish was peeling and it needed a good cleaning. Price $115 OTD. This is the Marlin model 57 LeverMatic in house brand. There is not a faster cycling .22 lever action. The short lever throw and 17 round LR tube make this rifle a blast. I stripped and refinished the stock. Rifle will put a full 17 round tube of .22LR into an inch at 50 yards.
If you see one-buy it.
