250 won't be needed if he's only shooting it to 100m. Plus way to load. Still don't think you need a 223 straight away mate. For a good 223 package you'll be up around 1500ish more for the tikka. Almost any 22 will shoot accurate though. Perfect gun to get you into the sport.
If you jump straight into a 223 in my opinion you miss out on learning more about ballistics as you don't have to deal with them as much. Put it in perspective. At the range I can hit the target at 500yrds maybe 80% of the time with 223. With the 22 and knowing what I have learned I can almost do the same even though the bullet drop is so much I can't see the target in the scope haha. But I can still but it.... I think jumping to a 223 is just not the right way to get into it properly. If your planning on deer hunting particularly at distance then your going to regret not learning about bullet drop or windage etc. EVERYONE I know who shoots regularly had a 22 and is usually always with you when shooting to.
