RE: Recommending a Deer Rifle...
only one recomendation.....that scopes going to cost as much as the rifle.....not sure if cost is a problem or not.....i own a leupold myself....but a vari x III is top of the line....and costly.....but im sure its worth every penny.......good glass is always a good choice...but if cost is a factor you could step down to a vari-X II or something a little cheaper.....sounds like a nice rifle though.........
