Any suggestions as to the pros/cons of these different calibers and some reasonably priced ($1000-ish) options of choice? Application would be fun target shooting and killing zombies (of course).

You can find an AR style rifle in .308 (AR-10) for around $1K. It won't be a name brand.
You might consider a bit more money and buy a FN-FAL. And maybe a bit more money and buy an M1A (semi-auto M14).
