i need help chooding a new rifle…. plz help?

hello, i am tihnking about buying a new rifle for hunting. I will be hunting many different types of small game such as squirrel, rabbit, g-hogs, ect. and i would also like to hunt larger game probably up to just deer for now until i can go bigger gam hunting.
i have a 20 gauge single shot and 16 gauge pump shotgun, and a variety of .22 rifles to use on squirrels, but i don’t know what caliber to get next.
my friend had suggested a 25-06 or .270 how ever i don’t know of this will be bad for the ‘yote pelts. and also i dont want to pay a whole lot of $$$ for ammo, how cheap can i get these calibers???
please suggest a caliber and maybe even a specific rifle
( i don’t want to pay a whole lot for the rifle either) and maybe some good ammo i could use for smaller game, and different ammo for stuff like deer. thank you for your time and help in advance…
i need help ****choosing**** a new rifle. sorry about the mistake
i would use the .22′s and shotguns for squirrels and wabbits, i will pretty much use this rifle for groundhogs to deer. therefore would a 25-06 be one of the the best choices?

Do you ever go hunting?

I enjoy squirrel,turkey,rabbit,deer,coyote,coon,and bear hunting. What about you?
For the Steelers Fan: I enjoy squirrel gravy as well. I find locating coyotes easy. Their are about 15 of them around my place (458 acres). I dont tend to use traps that often.
Steelers guy, I use a 243 or a 270. Do you like shotguns?

I hit a rabbit while driving to work. What have you hit and how did you feel. Did you stop?

That’s the fifth animal including 2 cats, a squirrel, a chipmunk, and now the rabbit… oh and two birds. I stopped for both cats. I was driving highways speeds for the squirrel and the rabbit so i really couldn’t stop. It’s a terrible feeling.
ah nimble, that’s over a twenty year period

Squirrel, Rabbit, Deer, and Liberals
great answer Terry, I know how Libs want to take away our guns so I knew I wouldnt be bothered with them on this question

In New Mexico, I can hunt rabbit w/ out any license. What if it’s not ‘technically’ on land I own?

This is a paragraph from the small game rules and regulations for New Mexico–

“Rabbits and Other Nongame Species:
Common nongame species include coyotes, skunks,
rabbits and rock squirrels. Residents are not required
to have a hunting license to take rabbits or other
nongame species. Nonresidents must have either a
nonresident, nongame license or any current New
Mexico nonresident hunting license.
Nongame species may be taken on State Trust Lands
opened by easement by persons holding a valid
hunting or trapping licenses for protected species on
those lands during the individual’s hunt or trapping
season. Nongame species may also be taken on U.S.
Forest Service and BLM lands open to hunting.”
