There's a thread that ended just a few weeks ago where some of our members submitted NRA targets with 10-rounds from their favorite 22 rifles. If you look it up you'll see what can be expected from nearly any 22 rifle at 25 & 50 yards. You will not see any one-ragged-hole groups from the offhand position.
Replies to you from those that comment on the significance of rifle accuracy when shooting from offhand are correct. Any decent rifle will shoot better than the average shooter from the offhand position & if hunting is your game you wont be shooting from a comfortable rest most of the time. For hunting purposes any good quality unmodified 22 rifle from Ruger, Marlin, etc. will be fine.

A member named Wisco had a custom 10/22 that scored almost perfect 100-8x I think, it was in the wrong catagory but in rested position it was common for members to have high 90's to 100 scores with various rifles.
Standing freehand is a different animal though.
My Remington 581 has scored great before, for the challenge I didn't do so well however.
