I hope to be able to display a Calico of my own here one day. How reliable and accurate are they?
The M-100 carbine will beat a 1022 for precision, but just by .16 on a regular basis.
Won't beat a Marlin 60 or 795.
As far as reliable, if you buy one used, you do need to tweak 'em a little.
But its the basic things you'd do to any used semi-auto...
First...Clean it like an OCD gun nut...go all Sledge Hammer or Sgt. Tackleberry on it

Polish the bolt & rails & trigger/sear mating...
I even polished my firing pin in the M-110 pistol...
Learn how to take the magazines apart & reassemble 'em....they need regular cleaning like any mag...
Stock a few extra mag springs...they last about 10-20 years depending on how much you abuse 'em...
and its easy to find ragged-out mag shells that need springs...so stocking a few kits comes in handy
I haven't bought one new yet...I keep finding slightly used stuff to play with

Most folks screw up by overcranking the mag spring...then they get frustrated by fail to loads...
they sell 'em cheap, so I end up paying half of what they're normally worth, buy a new spring, and I'm good to go
