Ross trainer, bsa martini, cooey 82, Israel k98. I've been looking for a lee but they have just gotten to expensive. I have a toz 8m with mosin nagant sights on it, I have heard they were trainers but I think that might be a stretch. Strangely the cooey is my favorite and I hate the ross
 
Toz-8,12,16,17,18 from Soviet Union.
There was a bunch of air rifles made there too,some in 22 cal.I can't remember designation.

1001 22 rifle from the DDR Remington barreled k98 22 conversion from israel FN purpose built k98 22 israeli 22 rifle
 
French military used the following:

Lebel 1886 military trainers. 6.5 cal, which is .22, and .22 LR works just fine.

Made by literally dozens of companies during ww1. They were used by military academies and marksman programs, however they were never made by any military arsenal, such as St.Etienne, Chattelerault, Tulle, etc.

MAS 36 .22 LR rifle. "Tir reduite."

Made by St. Etienne, it's a full sized MAS 36, but has a .22LR barrel, and takes full sized 7.5 French cartridges that are adapters that each open and fit inside a .22 LR round. Similar to the tokarev "sportovy" to get a reference.

U.S. Army:

1898 Krag Rifle, .22LR trainer.

Few made for actual military, many made by companies post US army Krag use.

How late do you want to go?

Poland:

AK-22, Polish .22LR military training AK.

Ian Skennerton has an identification series N0 16. British Empire Cadet & Training Rifles.
BSA War Office Pattern training rifle.
Springfield M1922 and M1922 M2
I did have a Cooey possibly a Model 62, It had a miniature PH receiver sight and a hooded front sight. It didn't have any provision for a barrel mounted rear sight, but was stamped with Canadian military markings. I sold it to a western collector.
I have an Enfield No 4 converted by Belgian by adding a sleeve to convert 303 to .22. Markings on it are As. Arm CAL. 22 LR 1948
