243 260 7mm08 308 270(yuck) 280 30-06.
Any of those will do anything in NZ.
223 would be fine on goats and deer but you must be prepared to turn down some shots,as you would with any of the other cals but much more so with .223
Just starting out it makes sense(to me at least) to buy one rifle that will do it all.
