So I am getting into shoot 22LR on a club level but also looking at maybe going to a few RAR matches. Starting out I want to try and stay in a factory class and not go full blown unlimited class. The local club shoot that I am going to shoot at (and shot at last month) I can use the two rifles I have (Remington 40X, and Anschutz 1411) but those are not allowed in the RAR factory class matches.
Per the RAR factory rifle rules, the rifle can not exceed $1000 MSRP and has to be in production.
My question is, what would be a good rifle to use in that class, under those rules. Here is the exact rule: Oh and it has to have the factory barrel, but you can change the trigger

8.4.1.1. Any magazine or tube fed rifle in production that is readily available and produced in
quantities greater than 500 with MSRP of LESS than $1000.00 or is included on the
ARA approved factory rifle list.

Here is a list of Approved rifles:
