    243 would be good for a lot of what you'd be hunting here.
    If you want to step up .308 .270 or 7mm08 are the most popular calibers. Pick one of these in a Tikka stainless and everyone will think you were born here.

    I wouldn't really bother with anything much bigger than a .308 or .270 for normal hunting situations.
    I personally would go for .260, because I like it and reload. But for a non-reloader the 3 I mentioned would be your best bet.

    Out of interest where are you English folk moving to?
    My first guess would be Christchurch?

    Hopefully not Auckland
