22 isn't limiting at those distances mate. I can shoot a shot gun shell consistently at 100m with my 22lr. They teach you more to. As you need to learn about bullet drop and wind etc. I'd say but a 22 first see how it goes. Another thing is running cost. 22 is about $7 or $8 per 100. 223 is up around $1 per round. In bulk I think we got it down to about 70c each and reloading won't save you money until maybe the 30th year of owning it all haha.

Scope your best bet is to go to the store and look through some of the decent brand ones. A decent scope now will last and you can move it to a new rifle later but in saying that a package like my 22 has a cheap scope but it does the job so far. Maybe save money on shore for a 223.

I reckon everyone should start on a 22. So much to learn from the old 22 out at 100m. It's still accurate. Others to look at are the 17hmr or even 22magnum. Both great bunny and fox guns and still in the cheaper end although more expensive than a 22. 17hmr does get affected by wind a lot though compared to a 22 cal.

As for torch check out wolf eyes website. It's what I have. I've got 4 of their torches now and love them.

Give me a bell if I confused you haha.
