I need a nice .22 rifle (no really I do)
What's your pick? Price is a factor.
Leaning heavy toward a CZ 455 American. What others should I look at.
Who has experience it a Remington 504? How hard are they to find?
Easy! Ruger American...

Don't overlook the Browning T-Bolt. They are accurate and the straight, short pull bolt can be worked almost as fast as a semi-auto if that matters to you.
In comparison to my CZ 452 American the T-Bolt is lighter, better balanced and the forearm is slimmer. I also prefer the thumb safety on the Browning, the flush magazine that holds 10 rounds instead of five and the "normal" screw in scope mount system. Mine is the Sporter model and the stock is finished better and has very nice checkering.
All that said, I have no intention of giving up my CZ or any other rimfires as you can never have too many.

About ten years after Father-in-Law passed away, so did wife's brother. While cleaning out the store room, I found a Remington 510 Targetmaster, a single shot. Finish is pretty much gone, but the mechanics and bore are fine. It is boringly accurate.
A couple of years ago, I picked up a really nice repeater Remington 511 in a pawn shop for $40. It is essentially identical to the 521 Junior Target, except for the target stock and the receiver sight. It is also a tack driver.
Don't overlook the older Marlin 39 (without the rebounding hammer). Most of them just flat out shoot. Problem is, nice examples are expensive.
My older Remingtons and Marlins are not far behind the 54 spotters that I have had in the accuracy department. I bailed on the 54s because of the ,rollover stocks before the American style came about. Because of what I have, there is no need to return.
Good luck,
Jack

I have a CZ in 17 Mach 2. I'll never sell it, but it's not perfect. By that I mean, it's not a perfect field gun.
Remington 581 is plenty accurate and handles better in the field, IMO, than the CZ. I just picked up another 581, with a shortened barrel, which should be a dream to carry. I also just picked up a BRNO Model 1 and I suspect that it, too, will handle better than the CZ. I wish the BRNO was in worse shape, then I'd convert it to Mach 2.
Savage Classic. Plenty purdy and accurate, but the barrel is a tad long to be super handy in the field.
Remington 541 - real purdy and accurate as well.
