I would recomend something along the line of a .270 Winchester or a .280 Remington or 30-06 in a good bolt action, or their smaller brethern in either .260 Remington or 7-08 Remington, or 308 Winchester also in a good bolt action. All of the aforementioned have better down range killing power than any of the .223 guns available. They are deadly/usefull on a variety of game sizes from varmits (two or four legged) through large quadrapeds and even some of the larger bears with proper shot placement. If recoil is an issue the .243 Win./6mm Rem or the .250 Savage, the .257 Roberts up through the 25-06 Remington will do as well under most circumstances.

those who beat their guns into plowshares, will plow for those who didn't
