Not sure where you guys live but here in MO I can still buy 22 in the 500 round bricks. They are more expensive than they used to be but readily available.
Now as to the question as to what to get for varmints at close range a 20ga pump shotgun is a good choice as others have stated. 00 buck shot in a 20ga has 9 33 caliber pellets and will take most critters out to about 50 yards or so pretty easy. Beyond that you will need a rifle.
22LR is a bit small for medium or large critters. Another couple of good choices would be a good 223 bolt or semi, 22 hornet is pretty decent also, 30-30 is hard to beat as well but make sure you get one with good sights (Winchester pre 1964 if new then go Marlin as Win has been made by US Repeating arms since 72).
Another good option is a 410 shotgun as others have mentioned. The 410 is actually very versatile can be used with shot shells and the rifled slugs are fairly accurate out to around 100 yards.
Now with all of this being said if I had to own only one it would be either a 22 or the 410 for critters. If going with the 22 the Ruger 10/22 or the Marlin 60 are both excellent choices. If going 410 my choice would be either the Rem or Win 410 pump.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
