Look at a Savage. They make a number of different models and all offer excellent accuracy. I own several and have found no fault with any of them. If you're primarily interested in shooting groundhogs/woodchucks, I suggest looking at the same gun in a 17 caliber (still a rimfire and ammo costs the same). I resisted getting this caliber but everyone I know who bought one has a gun that will outshoot mine by a small margin (on average, not every time). It's a flatter shooting caliber and is truly destructive on groundhogs/woodchucks. Go to savagearms.com and check them out. Prices range from very affordable to mid range compared to any custom gun. I'd suggest staying away from semi-automatic magnum rimfire rifles unless you're either a fairly good gunsmith, know a good gunsmith, or don't mind jamming and failure to feed. I've been down that road myself and it's not worth the trouble.
