I would have voted for the 243 also, but if its out I'd go the 270 route.

From your pictures you have a lot of open country, The 270 would be excellent.

For a rifle, I too would vote the Model 70 Winchester. The new Fn Model 70 Wincherters would be perfect, smooth, accurate, reliable, and well with in your budget.
