    you'll probably want a rimfire rifle for small game / pests - depending on where you set up - a 22LR cheapest to burn ammo.

    for hunting until your rifles are here (or not) - this could depend on the type of hunting you are going to be doing however options:

    45/70 lever - Marlin 1895 Trapper would make a nice short bush gun option to shoot subs suppressed or leverevolution for more range.
    A 6.5cm or 6.5PRC would give you a modern cartridge that can take any game in NZ and cover off longer ranges. Depending on what tickles your fancy a Tikka, Begara, Howa, or Ruger would fit the bill - all have their strong points depending on preference
