Get a Stevens model 200 in 22-250.It's well designed,simple to use,rugged rifle for the money.

i second the steven model 200. its exactly the same gun as the high priced savages. it just doesnt have the fincey triger.i have a savage model 12 in stainless and i just bought my wife her first rifle which is the stevens in 223cal.she can out shoot me with it(sometime..lol). the only thing i particulary care for isthe stock not because there is anything wrong with it but just because i dont like the grey color. for under 100 bucks i can get her what ever stock she wants and still be cheaper than any other high priced rifle and still have the amazing quality.
jmo i hope this helps!!

Probably depends on what you will be using it the most for. If it isprimarily for groundhogs and target shooting with the occasional reasonable shot at a fox or coyote than a .17 HMR would be better than a .22 mag and much more economical than a centerfire.
