Gotta agree with nchawkeye... Two of my friends own 541-T's and they are awesome shooters with the right ammo in them. Check in some of the gun rags or the used racks and you may be able to pick up a nice pre-owned for a nice price.

10/22 ruger! it is cheap, so u can afford a good scope! with that you cant miss! thats what i use for squirell, so far only missed 2 and one of those still hit him in the neck. great gun, especially for the price!
In your answer, first you say "you can't miss" and then go on to say that you missed 2...
Anyway, to answer to "origional" question that made me open this post... One word... Anschutz! BUT, your splitting hairs at the top, because there's always Coopers and some other imports that are also VERY accurate...

CZ 452,BRNO #5 and BRNO #3 heavy barrel.They have far more accuracy potential than guy holding them.I also own a BRNO 21H two trigger 7x57 and a BRNO ZK47 in 30-06 only 20,000 made and they are both one hole shooters.Awesome barrels.......................Harold I also had a Ithaca 72 lever action [Erma]I foolishly sold .By the way Henry is using their tooling.

If you want to go really cheap, but still accurate, try a low-end Savage. I believe they still make a bolt action called the Mk II (when I bought mine about 15 years ago, it was called a Lakefield Mk II, made by Savage).
It's a bolt-action .22 with a curved, 10 shot detachable magazine, and it's uglier than sin on top of looking and feeling cheap. However, it was the most accurate .22 I've ever had. With several types of ammo I could shoot into one ragged hole at 25 yards and quarter-sized groups at 50 yards. I can't count the number of groundhogs I shot with that gun when I was in high school - from ranges of 10 - 80 yards, mostly head shots.
I think you can pick one up for $125 or so, then spend a little extra on a good scope, and you're good to go!

I have got about $500 in my modifled Ruger 10/22. It has a standard taper Green Mountain fluted barrel. I have not hunted with it yet(just got it). It shoots 1/2to 3/4 inch groups at 50 yards. I am looking forward to squirrel hunting with it this year. It should make a dandy. Tom.

I've got an old Cooey that was passed down to me by my grandfather. It's one that has the tube mag. Even though it is old I don't believe how accurate the gun is. The barrel is about twice as thick as any other .22's that I own.
