Byulos,
For your intended use it will be hard to beat the 243. Whether you by a Remington, Ruger, Browning or a good used gun off the used table you will have a lot of fun putting holes in paper with it. When you do decide to hunt deer the 243 is up to the task all the way to elk as long as you can hit the vitals with a good hunting bullet. Check to make sure you can get ammo in your area but it should be fairly universally available.
