trust me on this, a semi-22lr gets real boring real fast.

you will not find a quality large calibre rifle for 399.99. my CZ bolt action 22 was in the 500 range after taxes and i dont regret spending a single dollar. i highly recommend going with the ruger over the other brands if you wanna go semi. again make consideration for a bolt action 22.

.17hmr is an excellent round. iirc it is a good varmint calibre and offers better penetration over a standard .22lr
i've heard of people taking coyotes with them with no issue.
