I'm not sure 1 gun will be a universal tool that you will use for everything you intend. I also will recommend the AR platform. I personally have them in several different caliber uppers ranging from .22lr thru 7.62x39.
I like the .308 but question if it is actually a necessity for 14 acres. I feel you can do just about anything you mentioned with a standard 5.56 and a decent sidearm. I'm starting to love my full size Glock 41 which is a .45ACP.
I would also absolutely pick up a Ruger 10 22 or a Henry.
For a .308 AR, DPMS makes about the least expensive of the bunch and I've seen them for about a grand+ or so.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Dave - If you are a gun guy, then you might like the "Box O' Truth" site. It's like we turned one of our best Pond Boss tinkerers loose on gun "myths" and conventional "wisdom".
I think the main guy is a retired engineer. Many interesting observations come out of his experiments.
I looked specifically for the .22 data, but I don't think he has figured out a way (yet) to catch the bullet in ballistic gel at the appropriate distance.

Rod, look up 22 bullet drop chart. It's loaded with 22 data.
