Welcome to the forum ! I have heard good things about the new Savage rifles, but I will have to agree with the previous post about the Marlin 25N, mine will almost shoot as good as my Mossberg 144 target rifle! They have not been made in years, but there are a bunch of them floating around. CZ's are great, but past your $200 budget. I think your very smart to pick a bolt action .22 for a first gun, good luck on your hunt !
