I'd get a T/C Encore or one of the old Contenders with a barrel for something along the lines of the 7mm TCU, 7mm-08 or a 7x30 Waters and go forth to slay a whitetail. I've got the 7mm TCU on my Contender and a 4x Leupold pistol scope and a 1 inch group at 100 yards is easy to obtain. Load a 120 gr Nosler BT and it tips over deer really nicely!
