You show a 1916 Spanish Mauser military surplus rifle that has been inexpensively sporterized with scope bases, scope clearance safety, bent bolt handle, and cut down military stock. (A NICE sporterizing job would have removed the GI sights and fitted a real sporting stock.)

It was originally 7mm Mauser (7x57 in European terms.)
And I suspect it still is.
What leads you to think it is a .22?

It would be a huge gunsmithing job to convert one to .22 and I would have to see pictures of the muzzle, chamber, and bolt face to be convinced it had been.
