   As this fella said. Try a heap out and find which naturally fits you best. There will be one that you pick up that just feels right, ... and you won't want to hand it back.

   243, 7mm08 or 308. Most of the modern rifles are pretty capable really, but I would personally shy away from the cheaper Remingtons (770 783) and the savage axis. I personally feel the best value...

   If you are doing the rounds at the gun shops, shoulder a few and see what you like. Don't let them talk you into something you are not sure about. As already mentioned, Gunworks just outside of Chch...

   Look up alum and borax tanning. I got both products from mitre 10 for under $25. I've used this method on a couple of goat skins and they turned out nice and soft.

    If in no rush keep an eye on here, once you have worked out what fits best you might be surprised how often they pop up in the buy / sell section, some of us are serial gun sluts and need a new one...

    A 243 would be a great 1st centre fire mehtat . Maybe a Howa 1500 might pop up at the right price, good luck with the hunting lass.

    Another vote for the 243, never owned one but played with a howa and liked it. Suppressor is not quite a must but it makes sense.... What scope are you using on the 22? Thats where things can get...
