If you want an off-the-shelf rifle almost guaranteed to be a great shooter you could pick up a CZ527 in 22H. I've got one, the American version, in 22 Hornet and it is a fantastic little rifle. Supremely accurate, fantastic set trigger, compact size for easy carrying in the field, etc. No gunsmithing required!
I might just go this way. For about the same money, without having to do an extra $200 for barrel work.
