Bass Pro Shop has the Leupold QDM Rifleman scope on sale...Matte Black 3X9X40mm great clear glass for $179.99 I believe?These scopes are great for drawing in the light in the early mornings and late evening in low-light conditions.If Your going to be Hunting try to get a good scope that will last a long time and be good and clear!
A Person/Young Hunter is going to be better off shooting a gun that won't cause them to flinch or be affraid to shoot...a Caldwell Lead Sled will also help in sighting a gun in.The .223 are good accurate Rifles that will take down a Deer....the .243 Caliber would be a little better....still a Person needs to practice shooting and give the Deer a clean,quick kill ethical shot!
