Not sure what you mean by affordable, but a cz 452 is a great place to start. Around $400. Great little rifle.
If you want irons, the 513 is the same thing and $100 cheaper. I had a 513 for a while, it was the most accurate .22 off the shelf I've ever had. |

My brother in law saw a CZ-452 Ultra Lux/Special Edition like mine at the local FFL for $289 last week. |

Savage !
Any of the heavy barreled, accutrigger, scope base equipped models. You go up in price as you get a better stock (plastic, laminate, thumbhole laminate) or go to stainless. Accurate, great trigger, made in the USA. One of the allen screws that holds the scope bases on mine was "wallowed out" as we say in the south. I called Savage for a replacement and they sent me the whole set: 2 bases, 4 screws. I didn't pay a cent. Good customer service is nice. Edit to add - And you can buy extra 5 rnd mags for <$15 each. And to say that mine says "made in Canada", dangit, not the USA. |

Honestly, I picked up a Mossberg 802 for $90 at Dicks about a year ago. Its got a 3/8 built into the receiver and takes 10 round detachable mags. It's lights and shoots anything I put in it. I also have yet to clean it, yes I no I should but I like knowing how long my firearms will go before they need a cleaning. I haven't done any serious shooting with it, but my step-father and I were taking out CD's at 75 yards with no problem. If you want a true tack driver, I don't think I'd buy this one, but if you want a reliable and decently accurate rifle I'd highly recomend it.

Thanks for the replies. Now I've got some idea of what to start looking for.

Savage Mark II.
I have the Mark II BV and it is capable of five shot groups at 50 yards under 1/2 inch with good ammo. You can find them at Walmart. |

ditto x 3 on the savage in hmr, accuracy at 100 yards is under an inch if you do your part, nice trigger, light weight, and it will take care of pests- squirels, birds, foxes etc...no issues

Winchester Wildcat all the way!
http://www.winchesterguns.com/prodinfo/catalog/detail.asp?cat_id=525&type_id=100&cat=C I absolutely love mine. It came with a five round mag, and three 10 rounders. Sale price at Fort Worth Bass Pro was $169.00, and they threw in a brick of ammo too. I have nothing but good things to say about this little gun. It shoots tiny groups at fifty yards with Remington bulk ammo and a cheapo scope. http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/masterchief_013/Group.jpg |
