    Chopping the 308 to 16" seems a waste when you have a 243 and the 44/40.
    The 243 with a 22" barrel will do everything the 308 short barrel will do and the 44/40 will do the short range bush bunting that the 308 short barrel is aimed at.
    Out to 400mtr a 243 will do most NZ hunting, 500 mtr if you have fast twist barrel.

    So of the 2 you asked about the 30/06 with a 22-24" barrel
    or
    are you looking for a long range hunter 7mm rem mag or a large game long range hitter 300 win mag.
    or go for a reloading caliber, 35 Whelen, or 338/06 and find some wild cattle to target.
