I would choose the Ruger Hawkeye in .375 ruger caliber. It comes as a 20" barreled model with Hogue stock, or the venerable African. Should be easy on the pocket and they work very well. Ammo is available readily as are reloading components. I love mine. Worked well on african plains game and on deer and wild hogs. I have the African in .375 and the Alaskan in .416 and use them often. The Hogue stock seems to lessen felt recoil too!
