Id go with a .17HMR. It shoots flat and you can get consistent groups at ranges much longer than a .22LR. It isnt as cheap to shoot as a .22lr but it beats centerfire, especially the magnums. Plus you wont develop a flinch. And a good shooting rifle in HMR can be had for around 200 dollars leaving room for a decent piece of glass on the top.
