I can go lever or semi auto or bolt. Just want something fairly accurate.

Define “best”. Best for what?

ammo wise, since they don't make guns, CCI has decent ammo but not the best ammo by a long shot. Their standard velocity lead load works decent though and I've had 1 inch groups at 100 with the prefragmented subsonics which is not bad accuracy.

It's the best American made .22 ammo by far and I shoot a ton of .22's. Everything from Win. and Rem. is inconsistent crap in comparison.

I don't own one, but I like the Remington 552 BDL. Walnut and steel autoloader that'll shoot shorts, longs, and long rifles.

Again, how much do you want to spend? Plenty of older used rifles out there, as well as new ones.

Lapua and Eley make the best 22 lr ammo, that I'm aware of, but its pricey, for the good stuff. $20 for a box of 50 is common and since prices have gone up lately, it's probably more. Yep but for working stiffs CCI Standard Velocity is pretty excellent.

There's a lot of "best" rifles out there. Fact is I have 4 that are best, each having a different application. One that I play with the most? It don't shoot fer chitt, but I love it anyway. Did I hear somebody say you can't reload the vaunted .22 LR? HORSEFEATHERS! Reloads aren't quite as accurate, but I'm working on it. Got any other questions?

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Anschutz. Pure quality, beauty and functionality. You get what you pay for. Mod 17DOn the home from Kimber makes a sweet .22, especially the used models built in Clackamas.

How much do you want to spend?
Blued steel and walnut? SS and plastic?
I hear great things about the Ruger American, but I would take the 10-22 for half the cost.
Or there is the Savage Mark II BVT which I like with the laminate thumbhole stock and heavy barrel.

I’ve got an older Marlin, and a 2 year old Ruger American in .22 LR. Either one will give me minute of Squirrel out to 50 yards or so with those Remington “Golden Bullets” I’ve tried several different flavors of ammo in both of them. Even a few of the expensive match stuff. Really haven’t found anything that much more accurate than the Remington stuff, especially if you factor in the cost and ease of availability. It’s good, it’s cheap, and it doesn’t fowl (or Is it foul) my rifles. If I was into serious competition I’d maybe find something especially good, but for head shooting squirrels for the pot and plinking for practice, I’m happy with it. 7mm
