I am always ranting about how there is no reason a .22 should cost less than a centerfire. Consider this that rant.
If the OP can, I would strongly suggest stretching the budget to include a used S&W, even if forced to buy online. These things are nearly impossible to wear out, and even one that looks nasty usually won't need anything more than a good cleaning - whereupon it will likely be a better revolver than just about anything available new today.
I am a revolver man through-and-through, but considering the new .22 revolvers I have handled over the past decade or so, if constrained by the OP's list I would strongly consider a Ruger Mark IV.
