    If you are a bit dodgy about the recoil a decent pad for around 80$ will fix that.

    With a suitable 130gr bullet it's fast it's flat and will do everything you wish.
    Alternatively if your going to go live in fiordland then run a 150gr bullet or go buy a 30 06.
    Q: why does flat trajectory matter? Is it less affected by the wind?
