Over the years I have had several rifles in this caliber and I really haven't seen stellar accuracy from any of them. What do you think is good accuracy for a 22 mag at say 50 and 75 yards?

Same experience here. I prefer the 17hmr for that reason. Much more consistent ammo IMO.
No one makes “match” grade ammo for either one that I know of.

To me, you should be able to keep it at least inside a quarter size group at 75yds. Hopefully better. I've never owned a 22mag rifle. Just never could see why. Although my Grandfather had one. That's almost all he used. I always used a 22LR. I need more, then 223. I have a custom bolt action that can keep inside a dime at at least 300yds
I’ve got a Savage 93 in 22 mag. It’s solid at 50yds. I would expect it to shoot at least 2-moa or better but have not fired it at 100 yds.
Well I was board this afternoon and decided to treat the barrel with JB bore paste and then Flitz bore polish. So afterward I tried a couple of ammo selections I had on hand that never really **** that good out of my Savage Mark ll. In fact it shot horribly. Well to my surprise it tightened up the grouping in those two kinds dramatically. The ammo it really likes is Winchester 50 gr. ammo and 1 or 2 other 50 gr. ammos which I can't remember which ones they were.
So to test the barrel treatment I moved the target back to 75 rather than my usual 50 yards and was very surprised at how that barrel treatment worked. These two selections of ammo really responded to it. Last time I shot it at 50 with these two it was not pretty. I really was skeptical that this barrel treatment would do anything at all but it really worked. Here is two 5 shot groups off a wobbly shooting platform and a horrible trigger. I think they could have been a lot better under better shooting conditions. The process did work a lot better than I thought it would so I am a believer. This is well under 1 inch at 75 yards. It wouldn't have done this before and especially with this ammo..

Minute of squirrel at 100 is the best I’ve gotten out of about 10 different ones. Best ever was a marlin 25mn.

I assume you meant 3 shot groups?
Either way, not bad at all.
I had a CZ 457 American synthetic that was moa @75yrds with the 30gr vmax. The 17hmr and 22lr barrels do a lot better though.
No! I meant 5 shot groups. I was very surprised at the results. If I had some 50 gr. ammo I believe the results would have been better since this barrel seems to like it better. I shot 5 shots of the Savage A22 Magnum ( made by CCI) ammo and 5 shots of Winchester Power Point both of which was 40 gr..
