Should I save up until summer and get a .223?

Yes.
Here's mine.

Gun: $269.99 + tax (NEF Handi Rifle Ultra Laminated .223 rem, with scope rail)
Optics: $199.99 (Mueller Eradicator, free shipping from opticzone)
Rings: $20.99 + shipping (Burris Zee)
Total: approx. $491 + Shipping/Tax. Also have an AR15, but that's quite a bit pricier to get into, and it's only wearing a 1.75-5x scope, so not ideal for little target sizes.
Or get something in .17 HMR. Here's my NEF Sportster in this caliber:

Sportster, Bushnell Scopechief 6-20x40 AO, forget which rings, and bipod. This is a really inexpensive setup. Any .17hmr rimfire is going to be less to purchase than a centerfire, of course.
