I have always been partial to Marlin bolt actions myself. They can be found in used racks at gun stores or pawn shops. I have owned several over the years and still own three. A 981T 22lr and models 783 and 883 in 22mag.
I have never owned a Marlin that wasn't accurate. And I mean half inch groups at 50yards. And don't discount older models like the model 25 I stupidly sold.
I also have a Ruger 77/22 that I had read on the internet that was not a tight grouper but OK for a field gun. That rifle will shoot 10 shot groups at 50 yards that will fit in a dime. CZs are nice but expensive and 5 shot mags are 30 plus bucks. But they are top notch rifles if that's what you are looking for.
Even Marlin semi autos wil shoot very good groups and Marlin made them in the millions. Used ones are easy to find but even bought new Marlins are affordable no matter if a bolt or semi is chosen.
