If you are going to be hunting big game, please note that most states and provinces do not allow the use of .22 centerfire rifles...they make wonderful, superb even, varmint/predator calibers but not big game...
Anything in the .243 Win/6mm range and up with do well to 300 yards with a lot less noise and certainly recoil...,.250, .257, 260, 6.5mm, .264, 6.8mm, .270, .280, .284, 7mm will all do splendidly...
I prefer the .257 Roberts and Weatherby and the .280 Ack Imp and my daughters like the 6.5x55mm and 7mm-08 Rem...
If reloading is in the future then maybe getting something that uses .308 surplus brass would be nice --.243, .260, 7mm-08 are all just necked down from the .308 parent case...as they can be bought quite cheaply...
