As mentioned earlier the Rossi 3 barrel combination gun is great for Younger Hunters and Women but it is also a gun you will grow out of after a few years depending on your size.At your size Jeremy you could probably handle the 30-30 really well and it is a great gun in thick cover/woods and my other suggestion would be a Browning A-bolt .243 Rifle that can be used for Deer Hunting and used for Coyotes/Varmits also.

I have shot my Remington 30-06 for several years and have been tired of the recoil soI decided to buy myself a Browning A-bolt Hunter in the .243 caliber using the Hornady 100 Custom shells,Leupold 3-4 X 9mm scope w/millet ringsand I have shot several deer over the past 2 years.It has great accuracy with little recoil.
