Rimfire target rifle

I've mostly been looking at practical guns lately but yesterday I shot some clay pigeons at 50 yards with a S&W MP15-22 and realized just how fun it is.

I realized it would be great to have an accurate rile with no recoil that I can shoot at a low cost.

I'd like to spend less than $400. I'll take a look at just about any type of rifle. Semi automatic or bolt. I would consider pump or level but I plan to be doing all kinds of shooting including bench and would like as little movement between bench shots as possible.

It should also be fairly lightweight (for offhand shooting), have the ability to accept a scope and bipod, and have iron sights that will work well at 50 or maybe (once in a blue moon) 100 yards. I'll be looking to eventually learn to shoot within a 10 ring at 100 yards so if this rifle can do that that would be great. I'd expect it to be something capable of not much more than 1 MOA at 50 yards, although I definitely won't be for a while.

We have a Ruger 10/22 so I'm not sure I'm interested in getting one of those

Considering .22lr but also .17HMR or WSM

What do you guys think?
