Precision rimfires is a hot ticket these days. But...it isn't a cheap sport if you want to be competitive. Accurate Shooter has a rimfire section and lots of good info there. Just Google search and you should be able to find all the information you need.

I've been kinda into them for quite awhile, not for competition, just general plinking.
I bought this 40-X back in the 80's, manufactured in 1973.
I also bought a ultra rare Remington 40-XR repeater back in that same time frame. They only made around 700 of them. I ended up selling it, as values were going sky high, & I was afraid to take it out of the safe. I've got pics somewhere of it.
Also had a Remington 541-S once upon a time, but sold it too.
Sold my 1973 40-X barreled action, that was in the McMillan orange stock, & picked up a Vudoo barreled action to stick it in.
Didn't keep that one very long, as it had a match chamber, & I didn't want to feed it the good stuff, so down the road it went.
I replaced it with a Bergara BMR, great gun.
Liked the Bergara so well, I bought a Bergara B14R barreled action, & stuck it in a Manners EH1. Love this one.

Don't know if my tikka t1x qualifies. I added a vertical grip, salmon river combo rail and a kydex adjustable cheek rest. It's very accurate with almost anything I feed it. My favorite are cci subsonics. It's a gopher killing machine out to a 100 yards.

I shot small bore in HS , my math teacher was the ROTC small bore coach at Marquette University and would take me on the weekends to shoot, fun time
When I was stationed in Taiwan I shot competitively with the Chinese army. Some days the national team was shooting at the same time and I was invited to shoot some of their International Free Rifles and Pistols. Talk about a heady experience.
Right now I have Savage HB thumb hole stocked 22 lr that shoots great. I have 4-16 target dot scope on it that I use to practice shooting off sticks, also a CZ-455 HB 22 lr that I like to shoot also. Most of the time the CZ wears a HB 22 WMR barrel for hunting.

I've had a 40X .22 rimfire International Free Rifle about 38 years. I shot 4 position indoor smallbore for almost 30 years. Worked my way up to Master Class. It is without a doubt the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. Even after well over 100,000 rounds through it, it can still put them all in the same hole if you do your part
