You have not stated what you MAY use the rifle regarding hunting. This is a depending factor as to caliber and cartridge.
I know you don't want to hear this, but I still suggest you get a .22LR. It is much cheaper to practice proper form and work on your skills. I have several hunting rifles and more than one .22LR. The .22LRs get shot more often. It is also a great cartridge to introduce a person new to rifle shooting.
