Thinking maybe a 223? I have only ever used shotguns from growing up on the farm and have never really used rifles.
Anyone who reckons you'd get bored shooting a 22 has no imagination.

All my old laptops have met a similar fate. Solids and ssg's out of a 12g for instance. Empty butane cans are good little targets too....

Totally agree with the above. A .22 is essential I think. Everyone has already 1 even if they think not needed they always end up with 1 haha. It's all about getting use to a rifle. Holding it steady without being worried it will kick hard. I know quite a few people who bought bigger rifles straight up and just don't use them because they become scared of them. Best to get use to holding smoothly pulling the trigger and the experience on a small calibre

Keep an eye on gun emporium, every now and then they do a special on the Norinco Puma Hunter 22lr for $199, great price for an inexpensive, super accurate 22. Think of it as four slabs of beer.
