One old ruger that is just a knock about work gun
One Cogswell and Harrison (CZ 455) that is my bunny buster.
I now want one for mainly social target use say to 100m, but I want it to be a tack hole gun.
Im left handed, but used r/h guns all my life, so will stick with it - just avoid montecarlo stocks.

Happy to listen to seasoned advice.

If you want truly reliable "tack hole" accuracy then disregard any the run of the mill factory jobs you have mentioned and consider a used older smallbore target rifle such as Anshutz, Walther or Feinwerkbau.
You should be able to find one of these for perhaps $1000 to $1500.

I agree - If you want something for a bit of casual BR & general range work, the older Euro single shot target/match rifles take some beating if you can find one that hasn't been abused. The Anschutz & Walther pictured below have a combined age of 79 years. They have triggers the equal of just about anything available to-day and are still Vudoo accurate with proven lot numbers of ammo.

Also, for NSW Cat A/B license holders - can someone confirm if there is a limit to the number of rounds the tubular magazine can take?

Browning BL22 is pretty hard to beat, I love my Henry’s, but the BL22 with the short throw lever is a better gun in my opinion.
No idea about the NSW mag limit rules though, but a lot of lever action 22’s will hold 15 rounds of 22lr.

Henry H001 is not bad.
Norinco JW21 is pretty good, and cheaper than an original Winchester 9422.
I saw Rossi does one as well, looks very similar to the Henry.
Don't think there is any restriction on a fixed magazine, only detachable mags.
Make up a bunch of 15rd dump tubes and you can keep it running very quickly.

This was a decent article by the SSAA reviewing the lever action 22s: https://www.ssaa.org.au/officialreviews/official-reviews-22-lever-action.html
