Personally, I'd get a Ruger 10/22.

If you are not satisfied with the ergonomics, or the accuracy, or else, there is so much aftermarket support for this rifle, sky is the limit.

I had long range competition 10/22, steel challenge 10/22, small game hunting 10/22.

First thing to change form improved accuracy is the barrel ( I love Kidd barrels. Ultra lightweight or match bull barrel depending on needs)

You can basically change every parts untill you have only the receiver as ruger part or even buy a aftermarket receiver. (Love dlask arms tuf-22 receivers)

It is a tried and proven rifle.

OR

CZ457 for out of the box great bolt action rifle.

:-)

Hope it helps.
