In pump 22s I have the Remington 12, 12a, 121, 241, and 572.
I have the Colt 1890.
I have the Winchester 1906, 61, and the 62A.

The expensive Winchester 61 is the best.
The cheap Remington 572 is second. The only fault I can find after killing zillions of small animals is it may jam with rapid fire 22 shorts shooting straight up.

In lever actions I have the Marlin 39.

The Marlin was factory drilled and tapped for some 3/4" Weaver scope.

Getting the Marlin to have a 1" tube scope over the bore [without drilling and tapping more holes] requires making an adapter plate. And possibly adding a hammer extender if the eyepiece crowds your thumb.

My Marlin 39 made in 1954 had almost no usage. One theory is that the *29 ejector lock rivet was left in bore cleaning position and would not eject.
