Hi Matty - there is only one way I respond to this question ... and you might've seen it before ...
For one calibre to do a lot of different forms of deer hunting I would go with what a mate told me ...
North Island >> .308
South Island >> .270
If you come from Ponsonby >> 7-08
I have a .308 (& .243 for deer) and I would happily own any/all three of the above. Spend as much as you possibly can ... you only need one rifle for life. Spend around 60% on the rifle, therefore 40% on the scope. Sako are good ... Sauer are the bomb! Keep an eye out on trademe. Keep safe in the hills!
