Thanks for the replies, I didn't realize there were that many options out there. I have one tube fed semi auto that I inherited from my grandfather at an early age and would like to add another semi or lever action.

The one I have is a J.C. Higgins model 30 from Sears, Roebuck and Co. Cocking lever on the left, ejection port on the right and has sling that retracts into the stock. This has been the most reliable .22 semi-auto over the years and has not had a particularly easy life. When I was young I was not much concerned with cleaning the gun but it just kept on ticking and was surprisingly accurate. Though the action does seem to be getting a little lethargic lately.

This may be a version that Noah outlined in his post? I don't know if J.C. Higgins was an actual firearms manufacturer or if it is a re branded Stevens or something.
