About the best deal going on a .17 is the Marlin 917V and Wallymart stocks it. It's bull barrelled, but not floated and it doesn't have a match trigger as some of the others on the market, but I'll tell you this: It's death on a stick for squirrels, coons, 'possums and armadillos and feral cats and will shoot sub 1" groups at 100 yards all day long!
It'll cost you less than 200 bucks. Put a decent scope on it, sight it in for 100 yards and never look back.
A box of 50 rounds cost around 12.00. Not cheap, but not expensive either. It'll shoot circles around anything .22LR...not even in the same category.
22-250's are straight shooters, wickedly fast travelling, dead on accurate and much, much more powerful than .17's! Although the .17 is a great weapon (for it's purpose), 22-250's and .17's aren't even in the same timezone for comparison's sake.
