Any of the cartridges (not calibers) you have mentioned will do the job. It is probably more important to find a rifle that fits you and you feel comfortable with.

For a first rifle I would go with the .308. It really is the do everything calibre for New Zealand with the added benefit there is plenty of ammo available for it. As to recoil, when your hanging off...

I agree that they shouldn't be left by the track, but as far as shooting animals and not taking any meat off them I really couldn't care less. When you see the state of some of our forest parks...

There are alot of different opinions on that one and could be a whole thread on it's own, probably is already at least one haha. A .223 is not a long range deer rifle no matter the barrel length....

It depends on what you are after? As a "bang flop" cartridge I think a 308 has the edge,for flat shooting and mild recoil/little blast the old Swede is hard to beat. I have a couple and have had a...
