I suggest a good 22 rimfire rifle and ammo, metallic or scope sights, to start with. You'll learn hand held marksmanship skills faster because the rifle must be held still 3 to 4 times longer than centerfire rifles after the firing pin starts to move.

After you've reached the skill level to have rimfire bullets strike no more than 2 MOA average from where you called it at 20 yards, then switch to centerfire at longer range.

The USA Olympic Rifle Team practices indoors at 50 meters with rimfire 22's. Best for mastering basic marksmanship skills and knowledge. It's fun to put 40 record shots inside 1 MOA slung up in prone with a rimfire 22 at 50 yards.
