Before you rush of and spend some real money consider grinding out some experience with the 12g single shot and getting the 12g pump shotgun. Kills everything from 1 to 8.
I never leave the lodge without it.

Modern rifle pack gets you a serviceable class 1 rifle and probably the best 4-8.

Better than the .22h Hornet?

Every 4-8 weapon after that was better. Not that it makes a lot of difference. Apart from the Martensson 6.5mm, they all perform pretty much the same.

I'd say it depends on which reserves you plan on buying.

If you want to buy both Te Awaroa and Mississippi Acres you're set. At that point weapon packs only add style points (which may or may not be worth it for you).

If you want to skip Te Awaroa you are missing out on one of the best 4-8 weapons, so at that point you might want to consider buying either Smoking Barrels or Modern Weapons pack.

If you want to skip Mississippi Acres you are missing out on a good long range class 1 weapon. This can be fixed with either Weapon Pack 1 or Modern Weapons Pack.

If you don't want to buy either of those reserves Modern Weapons Pack offers the best bang for the buck for you.

The advantage of the Hornet is probably, that it is labled for class 2 too, but if you only shoot at class 1 it brings no advantages over the LR, which still has a bigger magazine size. If you have class 1 and 2 animals on your map, I would still prefer the combination of LR and .243.
And yes, M1 is still the best 4-8 weapon due to the easy follow up shots. That gives a slight advantage over .303 and .308. But I agree, there is no big difference between M1, .303 and .308.

When it comes to weapons I've found little or no difference in most of the weapons in game. Obviously there are range adjustments for the lower powered guns, but as long as you're using the right weapon for the level of animal you intend to take down, the stopping power is negligible. The bow and crossbow are more powerful than any of the firearms, so if you like to get up close and personal, I'd use them. Apart from maybe a bigger mag there are virtually no differences between many of the rifles etc, for a given level of animal. The weapons DLCs are just reskins of the same old, same old for the most part with no noticeable differences apart from looks.

The Hornet has much better range and more punch, making it far superior to the .22LR.
