I like the marlin tube feeds, I have owned many types but never a lever gun in .22, that would be a fun little rifle. Semi Auto is pretty fun but that wears off after a while, especially after loading tubes and mags every 20 seconds or so.
Years ago I found a cooey model 60 barrel in a 5 gallon pail in a shed I was renting. When we were supposed to register our firearms, I registered it as a reciever only. That made me interested in finding the parts to make it a working firearm again. Took me 10 years, but I did it. That should maybe give you a bit of an indication of how hard it is to find parts.
After changing it's classification in the registry, took it out to the range, fired about a hundred rounds of Winchester super x longrifle through it at 50 yards, and put all of them in a group of an inch and a half with open sights.
Neat rifle. Looks good in my collection too.

I have all 3 Cooeys models- 60 with side mount holes, 600 also with side mount scope and 600 with grooved receiver and they all shoot extremely well. Only real difference is the newer 600 has a shorter barrel. Great rifles, particularly for the price.

Found a Model 60 locally for pretty low price, but the lack of spare parts is not cool at all. Too bad you can't buy a decent new bolt .22 rifle for less than $250.
the stevens is a good little gun and can be had for around $200

And, are they really any good? I certainly considered going that route, once I heard the Mossberg 802 was junk.
