Savage 22 Hornet
Right now on Gunbroker there's a 342 Bolt (only) for $135...$200 for a 342 in the condition you describe seems reasonable- haven't seen many in 22 Hornet.
Good shooters, doesn't have the strength of a 700, but adequate for the job. Downside is magazines are expensive when you can find them.

My only slightly out of date Blue Book says $300 for a 100% gun and $200 for a 90% gun, down to $150 for a 60% gun. Made 1950-1955. I wouldn't expect it to set the world on fire with it's accuracy or quality, but it should be a good little woods gun.
Ammo can be expensive. Handloading brings out the best of the Hornet.

200 bucks for a Hornet in very good shape?
The .22 Hornet is a very good cartridge that for some reason has been abandoned by our gun manufactures.
Twas me, I would buy it, scope it and reload for it.
Good gun for Turkeys, as a matter of fact, I killed my first Buck with the cartridge.
The .22 Hornet is a good short range chuck round .

Thanks for the replys, I went ahead and got it, I would say it's in at least 90%. Looks almost like new ,2 little scratchs on stock and 1 light spot about the size of a match head on reciever. I don't know why but always wanted a hornet to play with.Samclrk

I love the little Hornet.Not bad loud.Not much recoil.Cheap to reload.Fills the gap between the rim fires and a 243.Shoot the lightest bullet you can find.
