22-250 is the way to go because it has a mild recoil and is fairly flat shooting and you can buy ammo at most places that sell ammo. I have several varmint rifles but the 223 and 22-250 are the most economical if you don't reload. you start getting into bigger stuff and wildcats you will feel the pinch at the cash register. try buying 6mmPPC , 240 weatherby, or 6mm-284 at the local K-mart or walmart. If they have it and don't laugh you right out of the place you'll spend enough cash to repaint a small car!!!
