The best is not on your list IMO...

I say Kimber. But many would argue Cooper and most high end shooters may argue Anschutz..
These three really should have been on the list.
Winchester model 52 also a great choice, although older.

I have a new Kimber K/22 classicwith talley's and a leupold. With Eley ammo it shoots a ragged hole at 50. This is my choice but not the best choice for all..

If looking for a good fun gun I say the Ruger 10/22, all around on of the most popular ever.
