What's your budget? MSRP on a basic 10/22 is $309. Currently $279.99 at Cabela's.
"...Tons of after market stuff available..." And that's why. Start with better sights. And try a box of as many brands of ammo as you can to find the ammo that particular rifle shoots best and will cycle the action. The latter usually isn't an issue though.
Personally, I'd rule out the Marlin M60 just because it's a tube feed. Their M795 might do though. Has a 7 or 10 round box mag, but aftermarket stuff isn't easy to find. Stock is fibreglas filled plastic too.
A Savage M64, I've had one made by Cooey for eons, would do if money is tight. MSRP is $140. $129.99 at Cabela's/Bass Pro.
