If I wanted a very, very accurate 22LR I'd buy an Anschutz 54 and a McMillan stock.

savage mk2 with a 20 inch bull barrel and norma match-22 ammo 10 shot 1/2 inch groups at 50yds all day long got a sightron s1h 3-9x40 on it centerfire hunting scope not a fancy fine reticle target scope at all(which I have been thinking about at times) have maybe a total of 350 into the rifle 225 for the rifle and 100 for the scope(which came off my muzzle loader) and a set of cheap leupold rifleman rings
I have yet to shoot rws r50 or r100 but the norma tac 22 and the match 22 are the rws target rifle and rifle match rounds lots of ammo made by ruag group in Germany is very accurate stuff and they make ammo for a bunch of different companies and brands my limit for a box of ammo is about 8.50-10.00 for "top shelf stuff" if you spend more the groups get smaller........ put about 10-12 ounces of fishing sinkers stuffed in walmart bags in the buttstock if you get a plastic stocked one for it to settle in better shooting off a bench and a better center of gravity carrying while hunting
that's your less than 250.00 dollar rifle that will run with the "big dogs"
fire one fouler before shooting a group
been proved to print up and to the right between 3/4ths of inch to 1.5 inch on that clean shot depending on the ammo on 2 mk2,s with the same ammo at numerous range sessions
just saying.......................................

In addition to the above excellent suggestions, I would add the target rifles of yore. A BSA Martini M12, 12/15, or 15 can be had in that price range and you would find accuracy to be better than most of the targets pictured above. One can also find an old 20's-30's vintage M52A Winchester for that kind of money, albeit probably in need of cosmetic renovation, that would offer a level of accuracy bettered by few modern offerings. Both of these suggestions are a tad weighty, but a little customization can bring them into the realm of all day carry-ability.

Whilst over the $700 limit ... I have been looking at Browning 52's. I think they are some handsome rifles. Be a rifle I'd really like to have ... but there are many many other rifles in front of this need and with their prices still going up, it may be awhile.

Travis is right on the 54. Just a little more expensive. I have a couple on the 64 action that you can find used under 700. If you look. Not quite as accurate as the 54's but easier to carry in the field. Hasbeen

Anschutz all the way, baby. I've had Coopers and Win 52's and still have a bunch of lower end rifles, which I really enjoy for plinking and ventilating various vermin. But the Annie's I have are an order of magnitude above the rest with regards to accuracy. $700 probably won't get you one, but save your money for awhile - it's worth the wait.
Regards,
Tom

That looks an awful lot like Annie 54. I have a 201 Mauser and a Kleinguenther k22 that shoots real well. But they also exceed the 700.00 limit. Hasbeen

Lots out there if you go used, Remington's Winchesters (beat up) Some Mossberg's can be exceptional. I owned a BSA Martini Model 12, it would outshoot most anything. They are in your price range as well. Sako is another but you have to be lucky at your price. Annie's are without a doubt good to good but again money. The CZ's can be phenomenal, I now have a 452 Silhouette in a Boyds stock and it will shoot 1/4" at 50 more often than not. The 10/22 can be anything you can afford to build.

Thanks Av... It works well. I planned on willing it to mini-flave but his dad maintains a strictly CZ household..

But the Annie's I have are an order of magnitude above the rest with regards to accuracy. $700 probably won't get you one, but save your money for awhile - it's worth the wait. The Cooper has a 1/4" at 50 yard guarantee. I dont know anyone else with such a guarantee. Correct me if I am wrong on Cooper or anyone else. I dont have a Cooper, but; I wish I did. I do have a 64 type Anschutz and it wont eject empties with a scope mounted. This is apparently an on going long term problem with both 54 and 64 series gun "IF" you use a scope. The customer service dept can fix. Unbelievable for $$$ to have this a routine issue. NIB guns. And, yes, I understand the 1416 is less than cost than a Cooper. If I had that scratch I would itch a Cooper over any 54 Annie. For the looks, guarantee and balanced carry. And they work. Heck everybody else can build a 22 the load, shoots and ejects. My Anschutz 1416 and CZ 453 are both shooting about the same, sub 0.5 but not 0.25 at 50 for 5 shots. Real numbers, not a cliche. I am still playing with both. I think for a sporter/field gun the Annie is way over rated. They are on the heavy side. The CZ American handles better, shoots the same. The 1416 has a better fit & finish and better trigger. I have to tip it sideways to dump the empties. Ridiculous! Cool sounding name though. For my 4c. To carry all day and hunt, the Ruger American. For combined range and field, under $700 the old CZ 453 or 452 American. For the big money, the Cooper. For Olympic shooting a full blown custom Anschutz probably makes good sense.

Since we are discussing rifles way over the OP's budget, how about a Sako Finnfire II / Quad.....I have owned several of these and they were all very accurate though over budget just like many of the other rifles mentioned.......If money were no object I would buy a Cooper 57 and forget about it, Annie's are accurate and have many fans but they are too unreliable for My taste.........Hb

You wanna buy you a Browning A Bolt. Full sized .22LR, mimics a centerfire. Amazing accuracy, smooth, and good looking. P

Winchester 52 Sporter, either an original New Haven Winchester or one of the Japanese reproductions. Remington 40x sporters are another expensive option, if you can even find one for sale. The Winchester 52 B Sporter in the Japanese reproduction is one tack driving 22, if you can find the ammo it likes. The cost will not be anywhere near the originals. Steve
