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.

As opposed to you agonizing over the cost of ammunition?

Nice deflection, you really danced around the question. 🥱

enjoying the feel of recoil doesnt mean i think its the primary feature of shooting, nice strawman.

ill repeat: shoot whats in your budget. thats what OP's concern was.
