Depends on what type of beasties you want to hunt.
Is there butter and salt on that?steven likes this.The best camouflage pattern is 'hold still and be quiet. '

Seriously... If your buying a rifle, the .223 or the .308. The .303 belongs in a museum and the 30/06 is probably a bit too much bang for a young fulla.
There's world of differences between a .223 and a .308, what you you want to shoot with it?veitnamcam and samusugiru like this.

Any of those tho 223 and 308 are probably the best choices due to the availability and price of ammunition.
As a new shooter? you will need plenty of practisesteven likes this."Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

How much shooting have you done? best to go to a NZDA night and range day, you might get to try out some different calibers. Get a .308 unless you have problems with recoil, if so look at 6.5 x 55 or .243. There is so much to your question, the rifle, the load the type of hunting etc...
