Edit.. I should make note that todays deer don't seem to die as easily unless you have a super go fast caliber. The deer of yesterday seem to have fallen quite easily to a well place shot from a 38-55.:)

Isn't that the truth. but the good news is Hunters are getting tougher. I can remember when only Gun Writers could shoot a 375 Holland and a 348 Winchester would break the collar bone on a logger.

I'd go for the 7x65R. that way if your son didn't like it you could give it to me.
