there being a colteer lever action....yes, the winchester 250 and 255 work pretty well, but are cheaply made compared to the later 9422 or the marlin 39 or winchesters pump guns, the 61 and 62.

overall i think there were about 15-20 different models of lever action 22lr and 22 mags made by the various manufacturers; some were not so great, but it makes for an interesting collection.
