advice getting a decent 22lr

Keep in mind that although the semis are fun at first they can lose that when you decide you want accuracy. A lot of us here-myself included, had one and got bored with it realized that accuracy of the kind we wanted was not going to come from a semi no matter how much you spend on it. There may be a few that are good but a CZ right out of the box is pretty much guaranteed. Adjust the trigger and maybe bed the stock and forget about it. Or you could buy a 1022 and spend a ton of money on it first. Been there done that.

You are probably talking about some 10/22s. Yeah I had one years ago and it couldn't hit the proverbial side of barn.
The new ones are able to do 3/4 inch at 50 meters, in stock form, nothing to sneer at. I saw that personally at my club. Didn't shoot 100 meters, though, so I will not comment on that.
My box stock Marlin 60 with 4X x 32 Nikko cheapo scope does 1.5 inch 5-shot groups at 100 meters with bulk Winchester Dynapoints, on a calm day and I do my part. Not as good as my CZ452 Varmint, but close enough. And this Marlin 60/scope cost me only 150 bucks shipped on the EE, one third the cost of the typical used CZ.

50 meters and 3/4 of an inch groups? OMG! That's terrible. You really need to shoot a CZ. 50 meters is nothing. Go out to 100 meters and shoot a 1" group. With a CZ you will see 7/8-1" if you can shoot worth a darn.
A 10-22 at that range is laughable. Unless you mod the snot out of them. In which case, you spent more than a CZ in the first place.
Ohhhhhh shiny new CZ. I waited a long time to get a CZ. Sure is a delightful gun to take out and shoot. Not as expensive as an Anschutz but close enough in accuracy for me. Probably one of the prettiest bolt action 22s out there unless you spend a whack more moolah. This is the sweet spot as far as I am concerned. Take it out and shoot the crap out of it. No matter how long you have it someone will always be looking to buy it. This is one of my "cold dead hands" guns.
