    Where you are going to live? North or South will make a difference, that's to my way of thinking.
    The area you live will be your main hunting? that's in most cases with the odd trip away.
    What about water fowl? small game? large game? this has a direction as well to what you mite buy.
    I see the calibres you have made note of, which indeed are all find for hunting large game. The list of calibres is long for large game.
    Myself I like short action rifles and light, reason my build mainly and it used to be along day in the hills.
    What works for me, isn't bling to someone else, we all have our thing when it comes to rifles.
    Cost comes to mind I don't need to spend 3000 or 5000+ but to other it's not about cost.
    So I have given you the ball again. Answer some the questions to yourself then you will start to make head way.
    Join the NZDA when you get here that's a good start.
    There will be oh here we go again! with all there favourites rifles.
    What are you shooting with at the moment? if it works for you stick with that.
    Rabbits with a 3006 is just what we would call over kill, but hay it works
