   MB has made an excellent point re bullet drop. Learn to shoot to 200 yards with a .22 and everything else is easy.

   I've yet to meet anybody with a FAL that doesn't own a .22 or several. Cheap and cheerful to hone in basic marksmanship and kill furry things. You can pick up a second hand beater for next to...

    With the right gun, ammo and most importantly shooter, sufficient 100m accuracy to take rabbits is possible for .22LR. 75m definitely so. Bullet drop in itself isn't necessarily a problem.

    I'll go against the 243 as I think it's honestly a bit light on Reds. Will it kill them sure but not as well as something larger. For a beginners gun low recoil is a good idea but making things...
