Buy recommendations Buying a .22

Everybody on the internet is saying to get a .22 because it is easy and cheap to shoot. But honestly, what can you do with a .22? Plinking and very small animals. Am I looking at this the wrong way? My FSC instructor sayed to get a .243 because its relativity cheap to shoot and still powerful. And another friend told me to get a 25-06 but its ammo hella expensive. Please fell free to give me another point of view.

oh please spare me this vapid projection.

If you cant afford the ammo, dont buy the gun.

what part of that is fiscally unwise?

"mitigate the cost"

two ways: shoot cheaper ammo, or make more money to afford more expensive ammo.

method one is easy. method two requires not being useless.

Dude you enjoy the vibration of recoil as the primary feature of shooting. You called yourself a "recoil slut", the cringe of your comments is hard to handle.... I think the downvotes kinda say how people feel about your opinion.... maybe just stop replying and take the 'L'

It's called "peacocking" and it's pathetic.
