I think the best beginner deer gun would be a 243 or a 25.06 or a 270 or maybe a 280, but you might like a 30.06 but maybe just a 30.30. No now thatI think about it you should get a 308! But you might want to grow with the gun so you should get a magnum, probably a 300 RUM?
If you are gonna get a magnum, might as well get a real magnum, like a .458 Lott.
