I think my favorite .22 rifle has got to be my Henry H001 but its kind of a PITA to load... is there any rifles out there that load like the bigger rifles like the 30-30's and 45-70's? (pushing the rounds in one at a time through the loading port under the ejection port) it would make top ups on the mag much easier and if a rat pops up when your loading you don't have to fiddle with that dang rod trying to get it back in to firing order...
 
you still have to mess with that rod though, im trying to get away from that... does anyone even know if a rifle like this is made at all, or are they all the old style rod system?

yes, I have made loaders too, but they are a pain to use in my opinion...

Yes, I have seen such rifles, but you are well over 100 years too late to buy one. Both Colt (Lightning pump gun) and Winchester made rifles with side loading gates, but they did not last long. The tube system was so much more efficient and positive feeding for the .22 rimfires.
 
But seriously look into speed loaders. Twist off mag tube, dump rounds in, replace. But if you want a lever thats quick to load look into Ruger 96/22 Lever action 10 shot detachable mag.
 
mags are a pain to carry. I pocket full of loose rounds is easier and cheaper :D then I don't have to top up mags or try and figure out how much is left in a mag... my problem is the exact same as what shotgun guys face in a competition, its eaiser to load up a few rounds when moving to the next stage than fiddling around with mags...

What's faster and easier to replace? As for the previous comment, the answer is a mag fed semi, not a lever. If lever is what you desire then you're forced to take the headaches of loading that go with it.

I don't wish to hijack into a tube vs box debate...I own(have owned) many of both. To suggest one has been replaced by the other is simply not true.

Remington (nylon 66&77/10C), Mossberg, Savage(6&7 gill guns) made rifles available in both. Marlin still does (60&70/795, 980 &981) but also made levers in both(56&57). I can't think of a single tube-fed rimfire Ruger...The 10rd flush-fitting magazine was/is their hallmark(a nifty innovation), but it didn't replace anything in their rimfire line up.

OP's answer may lie in a box magazine. If I found a lighting, I'm not sure I'd actually use it!

I got this off of Wikipedia so it did exist.might have trouble finding one though!

The Golden Model 39A started life as the Marlin Model 1891, the first lever action rifle ever chambered in .22LR and the magazine was loaded through a conventional side gate in the receiver. The tubular magazine was changed to front-loading with the Model 1892, due to the difficulties of receiver feeding the small rimfire round.[2] The 1892 gave way to the takedown Model 1897,
