Another vote for the RAR.
Not taking anything away from the CZ or the 77/22.....I have shot those as well and enjoy them just fine, but for the money it's hard to beat the American.
That's the route I'd take as well, as long as the target shooting is of the "informal" variety. You won't be winning any rimfire shoots with the RAR, but it's perfectly balanced and carries excellent in the field...
