I was at an Appleseed shoot just 9 days ago. 80% of the folks there (myself included) brought .22's. I would highly recommend a .22 for that. They prefer a semi-auto but a number of us had bolts and had no trouble keeping up.
As for what rifle to get for Christmas...
What else will you use it for?
What do you consider long range?
Are you only interested in a semi-auto?
Does it have to be tacticool?
I personally prefer the accuracy and reliability of a bolt. Besides my .22 I have a .243 that will work for varmints and up through mid-size deer.
But again, it really depends what you will use it for.
