I'm with Dan. I hate to endorse any ChiCom product, but the Norinco .22s were hard to beat for the money. Below is a blurry pic of my JW-15 that I bought back in the 80's for less than $80 in a group buy.

I put a Williams target sight on the rear and jerry-rigged a 700 Rem front ramp sight to raise the front sight for the receiver peep. Accurate, reliable and nicely blued but the balsawood stock is nothing to brag about.

There were some more glamorous Norinco bolt guns and some outfit in Ga (I recall) offered a showy walnut stock.
