The thing with the .22's is that you can shoot them a *LOT* for very little money and pass them down to your kids and grand kids and they can do the same thing. What I'm saying is figure the thing will last you a lifetime and your kid too and then the cost spread out over that period isn't so bad.

Get the Ruger.

Same deal for a rifle. Get an accurate rifle you can shoot a lot to get the basics down. Again, IMhO this would be a .22. Something like a CZ 452. Expensive yes but you'll never out grow it or shoot it out.

Then take a class or join a league and shoot some competition .22 to get experience and push yourself to be a better shooter.
