With the understanding that I claim no expertise or wide base of knowledge, I like my Savage .22s. The Savage Accu-trigger is quite nice.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Oh boy I just bought a 10/22. The Compact model. Youth length 12.5" stock and 16" barrel. $240 @ my LGS. Fiber optic iron sights and synthetic stock. It weighs just over 4 lbs!
Out of the box perfectly zeroed for 40 gr at 25 yards. What's up with that? A 62 year first! Good trigger too.
It's a screaming riot to shoot.I can't wait to have my wife and DILs shoot it.

The 10/22 is solid; I have a couple myself. I’m quite fond of the takedown version (with 2-7 Leupold) that I can trot around in a copper basin backpack designed for covert carry. Cheap, greasy spycraft fun.

(The above version has contrasting fiber optic sights, and the clever stock holds 3 extra rotary mags—it comes with a total of 4 rotary 10-rounders. Again, turnkey.)
A good second choice to throw into the mix for the quaisi-heirloom vibe is the Henry "small game carbine" in .22LR. Great looks, fit and finish, with the octagon barrel and medium-large loop lever, and it comes with a cool peep sight as standard. GTG for levergun fun right out of the box (carbine on bottom).

For full-on prep lite goodness, one could get the above lever in .22mag instead, and pop the rear sight off the receiver and bolt on the optic of choice, and be insta-survivor, no problem, although the ammo is more expensive; squarely in 9mm territory. JMO. Lots of cool options.
ETA: I forgot to address the optic; check out this thread, wherein I received typically solid P-F advice on the subject. I couldn’t be happier with the Leupy that LL recommended...)

Got several .22 rifles hanging around here.
The ones I shoot most are the 10/22s, a Ruger bolt 77/22, and
a Marlin 39A. The Rugers are scoped and the Marlin lever rifle has
a peep sight. Hard to go wrong with any of those.

Savage MKII FVSR is silly inexpensive compared to its capabilities.
Also very hard to go wrong with a 10/22, we have the pistol takedown version. The rifle length TD may appeal to the prep side of things.
Taking a break from social media.
If you can find one, these are nice, too.

Been out of production for a few years. I have one on the way for my 512.
