    I too would go with a CZ452, either 17hmr or 22lr.
    I have both and both have different uses, and both are awesome. Also recommend a DPT can.

    Don't care what anyone says about how they have taken down multiple elephants with their 22's because they are awesome at shot placement etc, if hes shooting cows he should be shooting them with a centrefire.

    Have a baikal 223 that would be ideal for cows as long as they are inside 10m!

    Shot gun makes large holes in cows, assuming you don't have to chase it. Centre fire for long range "killing the breast for the freezer and want it to taste good" shots.

    He's shooting them in the head from, like 1.5 inches.

    A nice 22 Hornet could fit the bill, good on cattle up close, fine for rabbits, hares, possums etc out to 150-200 yds, can be converted to K Hornet version for a little more omph. K Hornet can use standard Hornet ammo. Forming K Hornet brass is as simple as firing standard ammo. Will take a deer down with well placed Head/neck shots. Best to reload ammo but factory stuff is available but expensive.
