The T3 seems to be a fav in NZ; great rifle no doubt, shot my first goat with one in 6.5x55! It'd be my first choice for an 'all said and done' rifle, especially if you could get one used with the optics already on it.
Having said that, my precision rifle and deer hunting rifle are both based on Stevens 200 actions, which is the go to action for a lot of budget shooters that want lego rifles. It doesn't look like they're too easy to come by in NZ and getting aftermarket goodies for it could be way more trouble (and money) than it's worth but there's a bit of reading in the link below.
