acres to protect? Tikka T3 in .30-06
it's light as a fuuuuuuck, only a little more expensive than a shotgun, and fucking accurate. cartridge is more flexible than .308. only drawback is it is so light recoil is a motherfucker. prone that shit.

Safe Harbor .50 BMG upper for an ar.
I'd honestly get any compact name brand .223 with some good glass on top. Ruger American with a Burris 3x9, say.

A good lee enfield no4 sporter will have 10 rounds of 303, an extremely fast action and very nice peep sights and a very long sight radius, and you could get it for under 200$

I haven't seen any for under $400. Goddeny links, famalam?

He's Canadian. They are still relatively cheap because we have so many of them up here.
The Gibbs sporter (bottom) is in .308 and would make a handy dandy ranching gun.

Accuracy, reliability, and rate of fire?
Check, check, BIG check.
SMLE FTW.

Only in the Commonwealth are they that cheap. You could get one imported but by that point you may as well have just bought one from your local store.
SMLE is the finest bolt action rifle ever made by a country mile.
