Remington 552 Speedmaster is very reliable and very accurate. Not cheap though - think $250 to $350 for a nice clean used one. Mine has a nice trigger for the field, but its no bench rest trigger. Tube mag holds 14 long rifle, but they cycle shorts reliably too. Holds 22 of those I think.

10-22 if you swap out the barrel and trigger. Most sporters are good plinkers as-is but I wouldn't expect a stock 10-22 to be "accurate". They can be dogs to dynamite depending on luck and/or $$$.

Marlin 60s and the many similar models are good shooters and inexpensive too.
