hello,,It's kinda hard to tell who originally made the rifle for wards ,,i'm guessing mabey it's a model 40 which was made by marlin and sold by wards with there trade name Western Feild,,but tis is jus a guess from your description ,,if this is what it is it should be a single shot bolt action rifle ,,they were made from 1941-1977,,Value for it or just about any western feild 22 rifle would only be around 100-150,,so theres proably more sentimental value than collectors value..but they shoot and are a good economical 22's for starting kids out with or as a house or garden rifle for pesky varmits..
