Looking for a .22 rifle

[CapitalistPleb]

I'm looking for a lever-action .22 rifle, any suggestions?
keep in mind I dont want to pay more that 700$ for it

Lever-action? I've never seen one, but that's certainly not to say they don't exist. Had a friend with a pump-action .22 though... maybe a Remington? All I remember is the entire thing weighed about two pounds, IDFK how. Brass and aluminum, I think... not an ounce of steel in the gun.

Look up "Henry .22"

There are several companies that made (and still produce) lever action .22 long rifle guns.

If your budget is as high as $700.00, you can get a great used Winchester or Marlin rifle. You can buy an Italian made clone of the Winchester for well under $350.

The Winchester Model 9422 is the best of their line. Sadly discontinued in '05, a used one should be easy to come by.
