Best 22 bolt action hunting rifle ever made?

[gold40]

My vote is for the 1950's Winchester Model 52 Spoter. However, they now sell for $1,500 +

The Kimber and Cooper .22 rifles are awfully nice, but somewhat pricey.

Today, the best buy is probably the Ruger 10-22 Heavy-Barrel. Mine is very accurate, and ideal for squirrel hunting.
