Again, Ruger 10/22. Check out the target model with 20" bull barrel available in blued
or stainless. Or, get a regular 10/22, and customize it yourself (stock, trigger, barrel, etc.). All kinds of aftermarket goodies available for the 10/22.

You can't go wrong with a Ruger 10/22. T/C puts out a "classic" that is very nice as well.
I'm certainly going to throw in a vote for the Marlin semiautos. The model 60 is the more common version, it's tube fed, which many people don't like, but it will keep up with the 10/22 in accuracy and reliability with ease. Not to mention that it only costs about $100-150 (depending on stock and finish), whereas the 10/22 usually runs $200-300.
Marlin also makes magazine fed rifles, the 795, which is basically the same as the 60 but with a detachable magazine, and the 7000, which is the same as the 795 but with a heavy bbl and a scope mount (no open sights). I've not had a 795, but I run a 7000 for rabbits and some competitions. It's every bit as accurate and reliable as my 10/22 race guns, but it only cost me $170, whereas the custom 10/22s cost about 4 times as much (although they do fire and reload faster and smoother).

I'll throw my vote in for the 10/22 as well. I got one for Christmas this year and didn't have to make any adjustments to the sights. This gun was dead on right out of the box. My wife loves this gun and is very dangerous with it. The first time she shot it she took the bulleseye right off the target.

ruger and TC make the best self loaders marlin makes a great bolt action but a horrible self loader just not designed as good as ruger, Ive run into alot of problems with a marlin model 60 and a model 795 the problems i had with both fell back onto poor design.
