Boo,
a 22lr for woodchuck at 100 yards isn't enough. I used to shoot them at under 100 yards with my 22 couldn't believe I was that bad of a shot, then I started finding dead woodchucks in different areas. I got talking to someone who knows guns and hunting better than I and he agreed that I was probably just wounding them and not even killing them. The winchester 22 mag I went to would stop them dead. If I were buying a varmint rifle right now I would check into the 17hmr. I have no experience with them but I would see what I could find out.
