It is pretty amazing what air rifles are out there now. :-)

<lol> I totally understand! My dad loves his black powder rifle and 
pistol. I like my Bushmaster Varminter. It's guts are AR-15 so it's easy 
to care for and it's built for long distance shooting. My current top 
shot with it on prairie dog os 430 yards. It fires .223 but the muzzle 
velocity is 3,200 fps.

For deer tho', I'd use the Winchester model 88 .308 lever action.

<giggles>  Bow hunting deer is quite a good skill. I'm not that good 
with those!
