I’d go with an anschutz 1700 series, for a highly accurate 23 lr. That's like an AR14? harhar!

Wow Lester, that's a great price. My local guy is almost $100 more for that one.

I think for an all around 22 rifle to beat around and kill stuff with on my farm as a kid and still to this day as an adult would have to be some sort of lever action rifle. Whether it be a Marlin, Winchester, Browning, Henry or whatever I just can’t see anything being better for plinking and just plain having some fun! 22s are made to get beat around and used so don’t spend a ton of $$$ on something you wouldn’t want to do that with. Lever action all the way for an all around 22 rifle!

In the used rifle market, the older Remington 581's are generally very accurate. Triggers can be upgraded if desired. Currently selling on GB for anywhere from $160 to $350 depending on condition. Available in Right Hand and Left Hand, if that matters.
I have sold or traded through a number of rimfire rifles over the years, including a couple Anschutz. My only rimfire rifle at the moment is a Left Hand Rem 581...

Anschutz 54 action model 1700.
Cooper 57M.
Older Kimber model 82's made in Oregon.
PS: Edited to add Winchester and Browning reproductions of the model 52 sporter +1 OP said “best”, no mention of price range or intended use. I’ve had a Rem 40X Sporter with clip, Kimber of Oregon, Win 52 custom and a Cooper. The Cooper stayed, others went down the road. Cooper is the finest all around .22 LR I’ve ever handled and for a number of reasons. Mine wears a Kahles 2-7 rimfire scope, a perfect match for the rifle. DF

Bristoe? (crickets) Bristoe? This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bristoe be like out at the truck pulling his single shot Savage, that he hasn't looked at since 2015, out from under the seat and dusting the rust off of it. Getting ready to shoot some 1-hole groups at 200 yards with some 20-year old Remington Golden Bullets. He'll post pictures as soon as he "git's 'er done".
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

I've won a fair number of club Factory Class benchrest matches, including an annual aggregate, with that exact combo. I use an old green Hart rest much like Cooper57's. Paul

Title of thread: What is the best factory rifle in 22 LR these days?
Original post: I am out of touch with that segment these days.
Followup post: I can go lever or semi auto or bolt. Just want something fairly accurate.
Sounds like jmp300wsm just wants to get up to speed on what's available in 22LR rifles and not end up with a dog. Not uncommon for someone to start a thread then dial it in from the original post with some followup posts.

I shoot a NULA .22 that's incredibly accurate....but that's not factory.
No argument that this is "best"d but.....About a month ago I KNEW it was about to hit and decided I better get my Zombie rifle ready. I purchased a laminate/stainless 10/22 carbine...$366 shipped. I picked up a Raven Eye Custom pillar and Marine Tex'd it in (~$12). I trashed the barrel band, dremeled out the barrel channel to free float it, and full length neutral bedded it with Marine Tex....some of the barrel channel is spotty but I'm not to worried about it right now. Put a pic rail on it (got the hollow center but still can't see sights with scope removed) and a 4x Prostaff and started shooting steel with a 1" dot. At 50 yards everything's in the dot for 3 mags (old Tac-22 ammo)....I wasn't expecting that. It could certainly use a new trigger group but for less than $400 (and a little hands-on) and a little time it's tough to beat. I need to put the 10x SWFA on it and see what it will do at 100.
Still need to add a front sling swivel and may hollow the stock a little. ...maybe need to add something for a single point sling for ease of carry when the brain eaters show up....
