What ammunition is common over there? A good bolt action with open sights or a low power variable scope (1x4) would suffice if the cartridge has enough power. 1x would allow you to shoot with both eyes open on dangerous game while 4x would be good for the longer shots.

I'm not even a hunter and the question frustrates me.

1) What is the firearm needed for? Hunting? okay
2) What game is being hunted? Big? Small? Fowl?
3) What caliber is best for that game?
4) What gun fits my budget/terrain/caliber?

You're missing a lot of pieces here. And you're going out on Friday?

If I recall those Eurasian boars are especially big and aggressive. I would base my decision on the boar hunt. Anything you choose for the boar will definitely be good enough for deer. I agree with some of these post you should make a decision based on what caliber ammunition that is available to you. However I would not go with anything under the 308 or equivalent.

Remington model 750 semi-auto in .308 winchester.

You cant go wrong with a 30-06 or a 308, the rem 700 or the winchester 70, a good 3x9x40 scope. both calibers are proven and offer a wide range of factory loads for any area in Texas. for big game

For birds it's hard to beat a rem 870, although my personal shotgun it the Ithica 37 featherlight

[sizir1shotguns]

well where i live they mostley dont use rifles only shotguns mostley buckshots but that aint good for a far ranged hunter so thats the reason why i need a god rifle that can kill from rabbit till a European bear

[bolognablake]

Would a round like 7.62x54r be more common over there?

[BIGP]

remington 7600 pump in 270 works real well for deer& hogs both. & you can find them for a fair price.
