Ah sorry, I didn't said anywhere that I am expecting a best gun for $1-1.5K or I need it asap
I said if I don't have a money for a full gun at once I would buy it in parts how the $ arriving I would collect all the parts maybe in couple months for next season. (in brackets I just assume I will collect a high performer piece by piece). Also following that logic why me to buy a furniture stock if I would most likely throw it away because all will be clamped on my existing rail.
I know that as well that there is a huge difference between how a starter $1K and $3K guns comparing look or performanse, but I would expect a less difference between a high priced $5K and $7K. Like with everything, be that a bicycle or cars or surround speakers or cameras ... name it.
I just don't know firearms and I don't want to pay like a moron the top dollars if a 75% is way better performer.
Back to buying the 22 and collecting it in parts... Would that be a vise decision?
Please don't take what I write below (or what I wrote previously) as being pejorative, argumentative, or belligerent. It isn't and hasn't been intended that way.

What you said above was in reply to something I wrote. It's unclear why you think I said anything about expecting a best gun for $1000 to $1500 or that your needed it sooner rather than later.
By way of explanation, for anyone unfamiliar with FX PCP rifles, at the Canadian dealer website they start at about $1300 and most are in the $2000 - $3000 plus range. That's what I meant when I suggested that the OP should "Be prepared to spend "FX" money on a good quality rimfire rifle for the best chance to achieve your performance goals."
In short, as a general guide for readers who may not be versed in the costs of .22LR, the performance goals you outlined are not going to be realistically achievable with less than FX money.
It's also unclear what you mean when you say that you may collect a high performer piece-by-piece. It's possible to get a Remington 700-clone barreled action such as a Vudoo or RimX and then select a stock for it. You might even get only the action and order a barrel of your choice from a Canadian supplier or import it from the U.S. Once you decide on a 700 trigger and stock, you'd be ready to go. At the same time, however, it's worth remembering that, while installing a trigger or a stock is relatively straightforward, as a previous poster has noted, installing a barrel may not be a DIY job for the typical shooter. In other words, the non-gunsmith shooter won't be taking a barrel from here, an action from there,
etc. and putting them together.
In addition, it's not clear what you're saying about stocks. I had previously suggested a stock rather than a chassis for shooting from a rest.
You write above: "Also following that logic why me to buy a furniture stock if I would most likely throw it away because all will be clamped on my existing rail."
Your notion appears to be that you'd have to get rid of any stock because you intend to clamp your rifle (or barreled action?) onto your rest.
This would seem to be confirmed by what you wrote above about performance goals
Now, talking MOA or subMOA in a calm day and absolutely no wind or other elements to mess with and the gun is clamped on a one-piece-rest, shooting 50-60 shots strings.
This what performance I am expecting from a 22 rimfire as well, a consistent sub MOA capable barrel at 100 meters. If the barrel is capable of doing it I will find the ammunition what that barrel likes the most.
I and perhaps other readers may have assumed that the use of the word "
clamped" was poor word choice. Perhaps it was instead the product of what you say in your first post and elsewhere about being "uneducated" and "illiterate" about.22LR and powderburning firearms in general. That's okay. Everyone is -- at least for some time.
It appears you imagine that .22LR shooters usually clamp their rifles in a rest. They don't. Benchrest shooters typically use a front rest and rear bag (or one-piece rest). The rifle is a barreled action together with a stock (often a BR-specific stock). Only the barreled action is "clamped" to the stock by means of the action screws. The rifle is
never clamped to the rest.
Shooters may also use a bipod, especially in shooting PRS-type activities. A chassis may often be more suitable for use with a bipod in the variety of shooting positions that may occur in events.
Of course, it may in fact be your intention to have a one-piece rest and "clamp" or fix your rifle (or barreled action) to it. If it is, good luck to you. I'm sure readers will be interested to learn of your results.
For readers unfamiliar with "clamping" a rifle or barreled action, it is similar to the way rifle makers and ammo manufacturers test their products. They literally have a vise or fixture into which a barreled action (or a rifle with it's stock) is clamped. They are shot in a windless testing tunnel. This is done to test either the rifle or the ammo with the shooter taken out of the equation.
Below is an example from the Lapua testing facility in Mesa, Arizona.
