By far the nicest rimfire I have ever owned was a brno #3 (now cz) The action seemed more like a center fire rifle. Shot like a house on fire. I'd choose cz if you were going to spend more money.
For less maybe the winchester wildcat would be a good choice. This is a toz78 with a bit better wood if remember correctly
Wildcat Target/Varmint
Thats the best buy right now if you wanna shoot some tight groups, and it comes like with 50 mags, and its a Winchester

It looks like a terrific rifle for the money but I don't thing the varmint model is available in Canada. The Sporter model doesn't have the adjustable trigger and the barrel is a lot lighter. If I could actually get one of the Varmint models for the $280 or so they were advertised for I'd jump at it but the sporter doens't interest me much.
May I suggest the JW-25 and 25A?
They are great rifles despite a few quality control complaints (which affect a minority of rifles I'm sure). They are inexpensive, robust, have a 5 round removable magazine, are copied from a proven design, accept a scope out of the box, and have a great vintage milsurp look to them!

They were as of quite recently. Lever Arms had that $100 sale not too long ago.
Marstar is always out of stock, but many of the rifles in private hands (of which there are thousands upon thousands) are still in like new or new condition.

Remington Model 5? Elwood Epps has them in at the moment for $250 or so for the Blue/Laminate in .22LR, .2WMR and .17HMR - same price regardless of caliber.

On a similar note, buy a well taken care of Toz-8. Sliding tangent sight, single shot, therefore no mags to buy or wear out. Accurate, robust & cheap, spend the saved $$$.......on guess what.

Me thinks Grouser is trying to corner the market on old Mossy's.
Great rifles, don't believe him.
Or find a nice TOZ 78 on the EE. Cheap like borchst, strong like tractor and probably my most accurate and favourite 22.
just got one for my wife. $289 comes with a decent scope brand new from factory cant go wrong.OK, 10/22 fans are here so now I can suggest the Remington 597.

nice looking rifle and i havent seen this...how much is this one?
The TOZ 8 is a great gun. However I spent about two years locating a second one.

$289?
Prices are going up. S.I.R. still has the 597 on sale for $169 and $199 (scoped).
