That's the great thing about PD hunting, you can use anything including a bow! Sounds like you'd like a nice light sporter for your type of walking. If you handload anything goes, if not .223 ammo is inexpensive and available.

I have a Krico .223 sporter with double triggers that I bought with 7 other rifles from a collection. It's the only one I kept. Normally a handloader but I found Hornady Zombie ammo shot well in it so I've never bothered to handload for it. I rarely shoot it but it would work as you roll. It's not for sale, just sayin. Pick up a fine condition little sporter of your favorite persuasion and rock on. Try typing in ".222" or ".223" in Gunbroker under "bolt action rifles" and see what comes up.
