Yep, I was all thinking semi-auto at first but for what I really want to do this seemed like it would offer me everything I wanted and perhaps even be geared more towards the type of shooting I'd be most interested in too. Also, still has a ton of the cool factor.

Yes, it's .22 WMR. I don't know a ton about comparing the different types of rounds just yet, but I've seen it down near .20 cents/rd too. I'll just have to see as I go and learn and try different rounds.
