If it were my money I would buy a CZ 452 then an assortment of high quality ammo plus a really good scope. Have someone who knows what they are doing modify the trigger and make sure the barrel is free floated. Then make some wind flags and head to the range. I would bet $100 you will find some ammo the CZ likes and be able to shoot 5 shot groups at 1/2 inch or under at 50 yards if you can do your part.
No more than $1,200 for the entire rig including glass.
Once you have a rimfire rifle capable of MOA or better most people do not want to admit the shooter has more input into how well the rifle shoots than the capability of the rifle.
