[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2020047, member: 29323"] I have a TC Contender carbine in 7mm Tcu. It weighs 5-1/2 lbs. with Leupold Compace scope. It is the right size for a kid. Velocity was low enough that it didn't expand the bullets on a javelina. I started using 115 gr. Speer varmit bullets (#1617 with big HP), and they were dead right there. My 10 year old granddaughter could shoot 1" groups at 100 yds. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on deer under 100 yards. If you want a step up, a 7-30 Waters makes a great deer rifle. I've killed 4 aoudads with it. You can even get a .45-70 barrel for the Contender. Great little gun. [/QUOTE]
