So basically, you want a light-ish weight centerfire rifle in 556/545/762x39. I take all these rounds to 400 yard steel no problem, and they're all plenty accurate even with irons so long as I can see my plates against the background.
But there's a fair chance that something that comes after you there will probably be on you so fast that you would never have time to take a shot with it anyway. Especially if it's a cat.
For my purposes, the ultimate outdoors gun is the 762x39 vz58 with a folder stock. Between weight and comfort to carry, and how the stock unfolds in a single motion as you raise the gun to your shoulder to aim. And the volume without hearing protection, while unpleasant, isn't unbearable with 762x39. Then stripper clips are easier to carry with IMO vs a spare mag, they aren't awkward and big.
But I realize this may not be your ideal rifle, you may be wanting something scoped more easily when you're talking about 400m shooting. Although that scope isn't going to be super useful inside of 10 feet if one of your critters jumps out at you, which is unlikely in the first place.

Pretty much or a veper if better price/availability

51 the 39 drops like a bitch at that range

Also an option I prefer less drop if I am not going lever for 400 bit can be fun/challenging to learn the arc

Buy a tractor and a bush hog and cut your grass.

Just cut your grass mate if the sections not too big, or if it's fenced good buy 50 goats for like $5 and have them go to town. It's what I did, saved my paddocks and I got some target practice when it was cleared.

There's not much to learn, move your irons sights.
I don't really bother to do it, but that's what they're there for.

Only time I messed with x39 was in some ar conversion that had the flip up nonadjusting sights (for range) but yes that is easy enough for most guns not cobbled together by a madman. I was just surprised how quickly the round hit the rangebow

Well, from my experience, 762x39 drop is FAR more intimidating on paper than IRL.

OP here, I said it's my land, it's my friend's who is renting on this property. Maybe I could ask the landlord to cut the grass.

If you want something inexpensive, with a bayonet as a backup, get an SKS from the nearest milsurp store.

I doubt he's just going to jump for joy at the idea of cutting his grassy field at his expense for no reason.
Pay him something? rent something and do it yourself at your expense with his permission? that might get the ball rolling.
