The 10/22 is hard to beat for affordable accuracy. If you're looking for something OTHER THAN A BOLT, then the Savage bolt guns are hard to beat.

I picked up a Savage Mark II BSEV for my fiancee last fall, at 50yrds, on rapid fire (10 sec per shot) she regularly shoots less than 1/2". Plus it's a great looking rifle, runs around $450. FANTASTIC trigger. Pretty lightweight rifle, especially for a heavy barrel.
