I'd go a .243, very versatile, hand load from 55gr up to 100gr depending on twist, load to suit required recoil. Not sure what platform you should use I personally haven't bought a iron sight centre fire for years now other than a couple of rem 7600's which I scoped any how. .243 is a calibre you won't regret buying. Of my varied 16+ calibres from .22lr to 45-70 the .243 is easily me go to rifle, easy shooting accurate noisier than .223 ,which I also have, but flatter shooting with marginally increased recoil.. I think ill have to change my name to Benny.243
