not sure what a versatile .22 is. These rifles would be considered accurate with almost no extra work. cz452 if you can find one. American or varminter. Rem. 541s is another shooter. Anshutz makes some good one too. your grandfathers .22 might be a dandy. What is it?

Everyone has to have a Ruger 10/22. Its like not having a pocket knife or a fishing pole.

Look for an older Marlin 39A or 39T. Both are very fine rifles and supremely accurate. The T model is a takedown model, has a carbine length barrel, and a straight stock. Mine has killed thousands of raccoons when Coon hunting and countless everything else. Put a Leupold 2-7 scope on it and you are set for life, or until you lose or loan it, or it gets stolen.
Next choice would be a Ruger 77/22.
Next choice would be a Ruger 10/22.

Ruger 10-22. There's one in my truck right now that has lived in every truck I've owned for about 35 years. Well, that ain't exactly right, the guts of it has. Over the years, it has acquired a Volquartzen trigger, a Shaw lightweight barrel, and an Archeangel adjustable stock. Has a small kill light on the left side of the barrel and a good but not real expensive 3x9 scope on it. It is is fast, light, and very accurate. Plus, if you like to trick a gun out, there are many after-market options available, including Ruger's new drop-in trigger. I have no idea how many rounds my grandsons and I have put thru it, nor how many animals it has taken thru the years, but it is a bunch. If I could keep only one of my guns, at my age (70), and the part of the country where I live, it would be the one. And yes, I have a new, pretty tactical model put back, but it don't get to go out much. I know the CZ' s are excellent, accurate rifles, but this one shoots better than I can hit, anyway. It has always been a little bit partial to CCI ammo, which seems to shoot cleaner than most of the others. I think a new 10-22 with a entry level scope can be found for around $250.
