I could go for a stainless Winchester 52 Sporter with a laminated stock or a stainless Remington 40X Sporter with a 700 LSS MR pattern laminated stock sized to fit the action.

That said, I have a bunch of rimfire rifles, but the bolt action rimfires that I have recently been using most often are the Marlin 980S in 22 LR, 982S in 22 Magnum, and Savage 93R17BVSS in 17 HMR. The recent production Marlins with the T-900 trigger are amazingly accurate for the price and make great understudys rifles to practice with. I've been shooting a 980S that I bought for my Daughter to use as an understudy for her Remington 700 in 243. Although this particular rifle has not been tuned, just taken apart and cleaned, it shoots consistant sub-MOA groups at 50 yards with intermediate grades of RWS and Eley ammo.
