Shooting Most Fun 22LR Rifle you'd recommend?

So when I bought my Adler Arms 22, I didn't think it would be a lemon.
What 22 cal rifle would you say is the most fun to shoot?

TM22s are great little guns with some aftermarket up here, nowhere near that of a 10/22, but they're fun tacticool guns for a good price, especially cool we now have the 12" models too. 

But a 22lr bolt gun can be a ton of fun too, I recently bought a Springfield 2020 Rimfire and absolutely love it, it's a pleasure to shoot and shoots great groups with CCI SV, but the CZ rimfires are fantastic and have good aftermarket support. I believe you can even buy barrels for the 457 and swap them between 22mag, 22lr and 17hmr fairly easily?

Tikka T1x is also a fantastic rifle

If youre looking for cheap, there's also the 13" bolt action Scorpio for like $230. The accuracy reports on them are actually shockingly good for a Chinese bolt 22, with a 13" barrel (although with 22lr you get almost full velocity still from 13"). 

The Savage Mk2 and B22 are also good cheap guns, shoot very well for $400. Not as refined as the CZ or Tikka, but it'll do 90% of what they do for half the price.

Just all depends on what you find fun, mag dumping and tacticool, Tm22 is the way to go, want to shoot tiny groups slowly? CZ457 is probably your best option.

Want to shoot pretty good groups for  pretty cheap and enjoy bolt guns? Savage Mk2 or B22.

Want to shoot decent groups for VERY cheap? Scorpio EM322
