With prices the way they are these days, larger caliber ammunition is a little pricey for ordinary target plinking.
Fortunately, there's a cheaper ammo for plinking that won't break the bank: .22 LR.
I have two rifles to choose from for plinking with .22 LR ammunition.
The first, is my Winchester 62A pump-action rifle I inherited from my grandfather. It was made in 1947. I shot with it last year. Still works great.

I used to target shoot with it frequently with friends in Southern California in Texas Canyon near Newhall/Saugus.
A friend brought along his Ruger 10/22 carbine and I liked it so much that I bought one around 1983. It is a semi-automatic that came with 10-round magazines. I later bought some 25-round magazines. I have a Bushnell scope mounted on it.

So, if one wants to go target shooting, they can still do so without hurting the wallet.
