Before I had a target rifle, this is the one I'd use for our local rimfire shoots. A guy at a recent know your limits shoot hit 7 of the 8 targets with his iron sight Mossberg model 144. It was damn impressive. The 7th target is 1/2" in diameter. Great thread guys. A lot of great suggestions. Again, if I were looking, I'd buy a Savage MK1 FVT or MK2 target rifle. I didn't post pics of mine before because I was at the coast on vaca. But here goes:

Good luck finding something that shoots as well or better in its price range. Next up is my 52B. Those that have them, know their capabilities. I've heard the 37's and 40's shoot better, but I'm pretty happy with this old girl:
