I had the same question a few months ago and I ended up going with a .17HMR. The reason I did this was because
1. the cost to buy .17HMR ammo is cheaper than .223 ammo, and
2. I was only going to be using it for target practice out to the 200yd range.
the savage that I bought can hit bullseyes at 100yds and I am sure you can kill a groundhog within that distance as long as you practice marksmanship. If I used mine more for hunting and less for target, I would have gone with a .223 just because you would use less ammo. If cost is not a concern, I would go with a nice .223
