Welcome to the real world. Hunting is an expensive hobby.

Like all modern countries, Sweden has very strict laws and rules governing what weapon can be used on which animal. To take on moose, bear, wolf, or boar, you are required to use a klass I vapen, ie, a high-powered rifle. Typical calibres in Sweden are 6.5x55mm, 7.62x51mm, .30-06, or 9.3x62mm. Note that while you could theoretically also use such a gun on smaller game, hunters usually will own several rifles for different game. There won't be much left of a rabbit or fox if you hit it with a large calibre.

From the published selection in High-Tech, I'd take the Remington Model 700 (p. 116). This is a relatively common weapon even in Europe.
