Shooting For Young Adults?

22 is totally the way to get going in this sport.
Once you are going to the range more you will get to know people and most are more than happy to let you try different firearms if you just start asking questions just don't be a pest.
Next in line could be something like an SKS that are still fairly reasonably priced and are relatively cheap to feed and are a stepping stone onto bigger and better things.
The Mosin 91/30 is low cost but not a great starter rifle. It kicks like a mule and can quickly discourage a new shooter but with some experience they can be fun and reasonably inexpensive to shoot if you use surplus.

You forgot to mention the twenty pound trigger pull some of them come with. One of the ones in the photo was so stiff I needed both hands on the trigger to remove the bolt . A little filing shimming and polishing moves them into the useable category.

I must be lucky.
Trigger pull on mine are comparable to my sons 30-06 with having done nothing.

I went through the same as the rest of these guys it seems, .22s with 25rd magazines were a blast.
fear debt and abhor credit, as another life lesson
