About LinkBacksHey Dylan I do a fair bit of shooting down your way as the GF's family own a farm just south of Kune, if your hunting is anything like that then I guess most stuff will be 150m and under which means any thing .243 and larger will work for you. If the budget is tight look at something like this : Ruger M77 MKII Hawkeye | Trade Me this would leave room for a nicer scope. The .308 has been knocking game over since the 1950's, ammo is cheap and everywhere.
If it is however your first firearm and you haven't done a lot of shooting before then purchase/borrow a .22lr and shoot bunnys and magpies for the first few weeks - jumping straight to a center fire could give you a flinch.
