If you can get one, a Remington or Marlin Bolt Action in 22 Magnum would be more than effective. Has the extra punch at distance, and ammo costs more than the 22 Long rifle, but I have yet to shoot a racoon or squirrel once with the 22 mag. I would say to do one other thing, if you do get a good rifle, make sure it has a scope and iron sights. I set up mine with the scope at 100 yards, iron sights at 25 yards. When I've treed a coon, I use the iron sights, if he's on the ground and in range, I use the scope for those longer shots. One thing I do recommend, lots and lots of practice.
