They were made as a farmer gun in an era when steel and machining was good. They are way ahead of the Stirling , norinco etc offerings of the same era. They will serve you well. I;have 8 of them .

Ive shot a friends old Lithgow 22--not sure of model, but the over curved & horrible trigger turned me right off...!

this took about 1/2 an hour and is within your budget with scope
I would think any of these are worth while but I personally would be looking at the krico for the price
