Little marlin 22LRs accurate with microgroove barrels - all under 0.5" at 50m - and the heavy barrel variants may do a little better. Think also about Savage heavy barrel 22s. CZ/Brno always good value and secondhand no issue.
I also thought the Norinco 332 was somewhat ugly - upright pistolgrip in target style. My opinion changed instantly however after popping four consecutive groups down range at 100m. All under 1", with average 0.6". Eyeballs nearly popped out. If she's starting into comps and seeking accuracy, aesthetics is always secondary to performance.
