    Howa .223 would fit the bill. Does all three of your main target species just fine. Isn't a 243 (most important) and will tidy a deer up when needed, and cheap to run.

    Why the 243 hating? Everyone else seems to think it's a good idea for what Jack's after.

    223 is already off the cards if you've read the thread (can't shoot deer in Aussie with them).
