Spotshooter add the CZ 452 to your list. Mine is very impressive in the groups it punchs out.

Like my CZ453 American, and an old Browning Trombone. 10/22 has always shot well for me too.

I've got experience with the Remington 541-T HB, the Winchester 52B HB, and the Ruger 77/22 HB...all very accurate. So is the Ruger 10/22T HB. Any of those would make great precision squirrel rifles.

CZ 452 is a great choice as well as Browning BPR and Marlin 60.

It's heavy, but if the wind is not up better than MOA at 100 yards. 1900's BSA Martini model 12 with peep sites. Seems to shoot the cheap box store brick ammo as well as the expensive target ammo. Maybe because the barrell says cartrdge .220...

You can throw a Nula into the ring, and if you also have one in a center fire the two handle almost the same. Great way to practice and stay in tune with your BG rifle.

I love a good .22 rifle. One may be the most truly useful and practical firearm available. My current squirrel hunting .22 rifle is a Kimber Hunter. It works well for me.

Yeah, I'd love to have a Cooper...

My favorite is my CZ 452 Varmint model in .22 LR. Longest shot to date is 93 yds, dead in the head.

#2 is my Remington 513 Sporter, but it is handicapped by a low-power scope (2.75x).

most accurate? there is no correct answer. i have an old 100.00 (when bought way back then) rem 580 that will shoot 4-5 shots almost into the same hole. as for which is most likely to be very accurate, money drives the train. cooper, kimber, the various target models from win, cz, ans, etc. are likely to be the most accurate.
