308 aka 7.62x51. An AR10 or AR180b would both be nice choices.

is the 7.62 easy to come by? figure as a military round it would be a bit pricy

We use 5.56 these days. Good round, just wish we had something better than an M-16 to launch it...

Yes. 308win 308nato and 7.62x51nato is all basically the same. You can buy new manufactured 308win in many different loads or you can buy 7.62x51 surplus ammo for real cheap. just stay away from anything that is corrosive. Prices will vary a lot and there is all kinds to choose from.

308/7.62x51 will be the cheapest large caliber route and you will have more options as far as guns chambered for it and ammo availability.

I like the 5.56/223 but I would not use it if I had large game hunting in mind and wanted something for longer distances. I like my AR15 though, fun to shoot and easy to carry.

ouch, ar10 is a bit pricy indeed. ar180b isnt too bad.

 

[phoneman 10+ year member]

If you want something cheap look into a CETME. It is sort of an HK 91 clone and can be had at under $400. They arent real pretty but they shoot good for open sights, not sure on how well or easy a scope would mount up on it though.

I was thinking about a CETME before, until I actually held one. I just went to the gunshow down here yesterday. Couldnt find any good deals. The dealer in GA gives waay better prices, weird.

I've killed many deer with a .223. They can shoot 500 yards fine.

Goddyd4me - a .308 is overkill for deer and if your only going to shoot 400 yards max. I'd personally get a .223 if i were you. It will do everything you want it to do perfectly and you can get 5.56 ammo very cheap.

phoneman have you ever used the cz 75? my local gun store is having a sale on it for 3 hundred something dollars. It looked pretty nice when I picked it up but I wont be able to test fire it before I buy it.

the 308 and 223 argument is just a matter of oppinion. You can achieve both with the 223 but with way less efficiancy. Personally you should have both in my oppinion

I have never fired the CZ75 but that seems like a very good price for one if its in good condition. You may want to check the prices and availability of hicap mags for it, OEM's are pretty high for that gun.
