My mom will be buying the gun like she has for all my guns.
And who needs to shoot at a BIG bottel I shoot coke cans at 70 yards open sight with my .22 can you do that ???
And I know how to Deer hunt. This year I shot a 5 by 5 180 pounder with my Uncles 7mm MAG the deer was walking away from me I shot it in the back of the neck and it came out in the front of its head.
Most guys would just shoot it in the side to make sher they hit it but why do that if you can hit it in the head and know its not going anywere.
All I need to know is info about what gun would be good to deer hunt.

I think Fearless Leader was just looking out for your safety, not challenging your manhood or shooting abilities. Lord knows we've all heard hunting horror stories beginning "A kid was out in the woods alone when..."; And bragging about a lucky, risky hit on a deer - from an angle almost all experienced hunters would pass on - doesn't bolster much support either.
As for the calibers: I would unanimously vote for the plain jane .270 Winchester over the 270WSM. 270WSM offers more velocity and energy, but not drastically more, and I'm not convinced it justifies the added cost. Not to mention that no deer on earth will ever know the difference.
