Buying a 22 is no different to anything. Depends on budget, the amount and type of use.
If it's just for pointing or the odd rabbiting trip $450 should be plenty. If you shoot a lot or into comps $1000 would be closer to the mark

This will probably be used about 80% range (not comp, but to get my attendances/use between centrefires cooling etc) and 20% hunting. However I'd still definitely be looking for a hunting orientated setup, i.e no bull barrel etc

I don't really care about looks, but want an accurate gun that isn't a single shot as I will also do quite a bit of hunting with it. I've seen a few .22's in my price range on used gun site's but not sure which ones will be accurate, or a made of good enough quality that they will work for me now and the next couple of years.
TL;DR - Looking at options for a .22 model priced between $300-350 that is accurate, not single shot and would be reliable (don't care about looks).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if this is an unreasonable proposal given my budget as well.
Cheers
