Default 1st deer rifle, need reassurance

first off, Hello from Idaho

First hunting trip for "big game" complete:
borrowed 7 mag
1st shot at rock to test recoil, perty stiff (compared to 12 gauge auto w/ target loads on quail, chukar ect.)
2nd shot at 4 point w/ seven does, he was 100 yards broadside at trot. he took two steps, stopped, head down, feet up. Owner of gun 200 yards up on hill thought I was shooting at does (didn't see buck) or that I fell & shot myself (heard< BOOM..WWWAAAHHHH!!!) perfect shot thru H&L It was better than what I had fantasized BTW recoil imperceptible

I now must have a rifle, put this one on lay-away. 1/2 paid off but not too late to change, worried about availibility of cartridge on 10 yrs. ect
