look into a .270. not a small caliber when you’re used to a 22 but not massive in the whole scheme of things. they’re quite fun at that range you were describing too, and they give you the opportunity to go a lot longer if you ever need/want it.
a .270 was my first hunting rifle, if a scrawny 11 year old could use it I have faith in you :)
.270 is a neat caliber. I rarely hear about it (not that I frequent gun discussions) but am familiar with it because that’s the caliber of my dad’s deer hunting rifle which also belonged to my WW2 veteran grandfather.
And yeah it’s not very comparable to a 22 except for starting with a two. It’s a high powered rifle. You can think of it like a .30-06 but with a slightly smaller and faster bullet.

oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I’d love to have an older hunting rifle, there’s something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.
I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.
