Top fuel dragsters make something like 10,000 HP. Do that with an inline 6 or 4 banger.
PW4098 produces 78,400 hp

I think everyone missed the $ for $ part. They will never catch up. Anyway I made the original comment as a point of comparison, not conversation. I was saying that if you want to be the most accurate then start with the greatest asset for your goals. A 4 cyl. not being the most conducive to making HP I was not wrong.
I dig the occasional rotary though!!! Too damn cool!
Sooooo anyway.
Hmmm I could comment but gawd knows what that would lead to. I'll just do this instead.
Ok Im going all out on this one:
108,920 hp and 5,608,312lb/ft

I'm a guy that likes to target shoot with .22's, and have been down this road. To start with, you're asking a lot for 100 or 200 yards out of a .22 LR. 50 yards is more reasonable.
A 10/22, Marlin 60, etc... won't have the accuracy to make it worthwhile. A Savage MKII is the way to go cheap, but you would be better off starting out with at least a CZ. Look at a 452, or 453 to get the set trigger. For a scope, you want the 452 American, or 453 American or Varmint. If you want to play with iron sights, look at the 452 trainer, lux, ultra lux, or FS (with the Mannlicher stock.) Price is going to be in the $400 - $500 range.
Next level would be a Kimber 82G from CMP (www.odcmp.com). They have a "rusty" version for $400, or the regular one for $600.
Next comes 64 action Anschutz, then 54 action Anschutz. Finally, Cooper. You're going to start at $700, and can spend over $2000 easily.
The CZ is amazingly accurate. The Kimber is a dedicated target rifle (it weighs 10 lbs and the barrel is the same diameter as a quarter). The Anschutz and Coopers are premium - ultra premium .22's that will be marginally more accurate than the CZ or Kimber.
For ammo - Wolf Match or Extra Match, SK, and RWS will be your best bang for the buck. Around $40-75 per brick. You can spend more on high end Eley or Lapua. Save the Wal-Mart bulk Federal for squirrel hunting, because it doesn't have the consistency for target shooting. Note that target ammo is standard velocity, where bulk packs are high velocity.
Here's a 10 round group (using bags on a bench) from my Kimber 82G at 50 yards. The squares are 1". No way my Marlin 39 will do anything like that.
Good thing there was only a slight breeze that day.
My son and I like shooting these miniature sniper targets. Points for the bad guy, and points deducted for hitting the good guy. The head is about the size of a fingernail.

Thanks for the input man. I am not much of a Ruger fan, but the 10/22 is an amazing rifle. It seems that over and over again they can do no wrong. As it seems with yours I am more interested in iron sights. Anyone can drill a target with a scope from a rested position.
I just sold my AR with the 22LR conversion. I loved that thing! It was more fun than shooting .223 out of it. It was as accurate as expected and I never had a hang up with it.
I am thinking that I am going into the market for a magazine fed bolt action. I have my single shot that is absolutely ridiculous. It's a boys rifle that I have had since I was 6. Our family owning a prototype machine shop, you can imagine the work that was done to it. My dad is a relentless tinkerer and gun enthusiast. To date I can't find any .22 that shoots better than this thing! I do however have to little patients I guess. The single shot thing bothers me.
Yeah, but I won the pissing contest with my elephant.

Hey man that's outstanding! I will check out the website. Thank you for the info. I get what your saying with the range distance. This is kinda the challenge for me though. don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for groups that I can cover with a nickel or a quarter, hell or a silver dollar for matter. Just a personal challenge for myself and a fun comparison of my improvements or losses. For grouping and such we usually do the 50 yard thing as well.
Thanks again for the info. and ammo input. BTW: NICE SHOT!
