welcome aboard!!!
there are tons of gret guns you could get that would fill your cup.
m-1 garand: reliable as heck, never did anything wrong. accurate is more than enough for deer but it does weigh 9 lbs and is kinda long, but it is a riflemans rifle and one of the best IMHO.
ak-47: its not the most accurate but it would be fun for shooting, cheap and compact. it might be good for deer out to 150 yards but i would try to keep it inside 100.
ar-15: great rifle, accurate, there one of the most reliable rifles i have fired my dads has gone through 2000 rounds, 1 cleaning at halftime and never failed to function or fire. its pretty handy and compact too. the only problem is, the .223 isnt the best deer round. it will surely get the job done.
mini-14/30: this gun may not be as accurate as you want but is verry light, short and it seems like it comes to your shoulder by its self. reliable too, but its only reliable with quality magazines so if you get one buy mags from a good aftermarket brand. the accuracy most people get from there minis aren't satisfactory for deer but if you put a muzzle brake or some other muzzle attachment and it will usually bring groups down to 2-3" at 100 yards.
