Looking for some opinions on Bolt .22s

For more formal competition, either select the sport/event/discipline you're interested in and get a rifle that fits the rules, or get a rifle and find a sport/event/discipline that it will fit into.

For example, 50-foot iron sight prone matches wouldn't suit a 10/22 without making an Anschutz inexpensive in comparison.

I think the best advice was to look at what the other competitors are using and pick something at least similar.

Old Mossberg M44/144s, H&R M12s, Remington 541Xs, and the CMP Kimbers would all be relatively inexpensive bolt gun choices, from ~$200 or so on up, and they'd have a bit of history too. Keep stock style in mind, too.
 
Wow, that pic with the small grouping is super good with your 10/22 at 50yds. Only way to improve there is with one hole for all three shots.
 
Savage guns have a nice smooth action and they are accurate. Unfortunately, the magazine to magazine well fit is extremely loose. So much so that it caused issues with mine which is why I sold it.

Marlin has always made decent rimfire bolt actions and their new XT series looks even better. I had a 22WMR Marlin bolt gun and it was a quality piece.

CZ makes some very refined rifles. Expect to pay more for them.

Get a Marlin if on a budget or a CZ if money isn't a huge issue.
