LadyKiller....if You go with a larger Caliber Deer Rifle I would reccomend getting some of the Remington Managed Recoil shells so it doesn't have as much recoil when shooting the Rifle.They make bullets for most of the popular Calibers like .270,30-06,30-30 and 7mm-08.A good benchrest or Caldwell shooting bags is a good thing to use when hunting out of raised box blind or even a set of shooting sticks to hold up Your Rigle for long shots making it easier on Your arms,shoulder and neck!
