Clip fed lever action 22

Magazine-fed levers~I suppose if we're splitting hairs...you're referring to a "box magazine-fed" lever....? 
Probably the only one that has enjoyed some popularity in recent years is the Ruger 96/22. If you google that and look at some of the images...you'll see some with those big high-capacity/banana-shaped mags hanging off the bottom. Looks VERY strange on a lever-action gun in my opinion. That rifle was offered in .17HMR (96/17 I think..?)...not sure about .22WMR. Anyhow, pretty sure they're discontinued and from what I've seen...and not seen in the EE here~they're in pretty high demand from a collector's POV.

I believe they were built in .22lr, .22WMR and .17HMR, just not .17HM2. They are indeed discontinued, and not very common.
As suggested, the ruger n' marlins are the only ones I've seen...
Regarding terminology, I think someone should call the manufacturers too... The "C" in Remington 10C stands for clip. The "c" in my PH1200C stands for clip too. Many of the owners manuals for .22's also refer to "clips". Most importantly, for the semantic crowd, who didn't understand OP's question because of the terminology used? If he'd asked about magazines, without being specific about box, or tube we'd be in terminology turmoil!
" Y'know? That thingy that holds the bullets you jam in from the bottom?"

add-on ( i have very slow dialup..):
In the informative picture, the "stripper clip" might actually be a "charger" or a "stripper".
I grew up calling those tracked thingys, that run on snow with skis on the front "ski doos". It didn't have to built by Bombardier...even a Yamaha was a skidoo! Turns out that tissues can be made by places other than "Kleenex" too. I dare any of you to extoll the virtues of vocabulary when my Mom asked for a "Kleenex"... Does your Ford have a "posi-track" rear end? (no it doesn't...it may have a limited slip differential).
In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest that if a fellow inquiring about "clip fed" lever actions confuses, or confounds you, there may be little input you can offer.
rant off

I could not begin to retort to that as well as camster... Perhaps ill start another post about how many "bullets" fit into that "clip". Yes I'm aware of the difference, I used the informal term "clip" for brevity to distinguish it from "tubular magazine"
Thank you to those who provided intelligent answers to a poorly phrased question

Gotta play fair.
"Magazine" in terminology for munitions predates the .22 rimfire's existence. Deference where it's due...
The original rant (don't get me started!) of a few months ago stems more from the replies about terminology with no actual input regarding the rifle OP was looking for.
Anyone who didn't know what was meant, wouldn't have been able to correct the nomenclature that was utilized! That's what nags me. Ya'll knew what he was looking for, and it wasn't a "lesson".
Most importantly, in the terms of general populous, and the commercial entities that provide the arms questioned about; "clip" is an appropriate term.
It bugged the daylights out of me when my young son would see me with an 'iron, and then ask if it was a "sniper rifle". I explained (more than once) to my wee lad that none of them were sniper rifles because Daddy wasn't a sniper. We also don't own a "race car" because we are not in races....the list goes on. Nomenclature IS important. I've tried to help folks with "extraction" issues who actually had "ejection" issues.
In this case, the "semantics" help isn't valid
