With that budget I would look at 2 guns with 2 scopes for 2 uses, one for hunting that is set up perfectly that you'll not worry about getting damp, muddy, dusty, say a used HW100 of some sort with decent scope, don't worry about the shot count, you're hunting so 50 shots should be enough, if not carry a buddy bottle! £700 all in?

That would leave £1300 for a target/plinking gun/scope of your choice.. Happy days!!
