To clean a Model 87 A 22, first ensure the firearm is unloaded and the chamber is clear. Use a cleaning rod with a bore brush and solvent to clean the barrel, followed by a patch to remove residue. Wipe down the exterior with a cloth and apply a light coat of oil to protect the metal surfaces. Regular maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity.

The rifle sounds like the Model 81 from Marlin, I don't think they made an 87. I believe $75 is a good price on a functional 22 rifle, if it's not beat to death. Did you ask this question over on the CZ forums??
Impossible to answer without a detailed description of all markings and who made it.
