Once the rifle is sorted, then hunt some goats. Good practice, and easier than deer. Get some runs on the board, practice your butchery so when you get a deer you're confident. +1 for getting a...

Buy a .22lr and about 1000 rounds. Play around with it, shoot at range, shoot in wind, shoot prone and standing until they're all gone. Then buy a 6.5crd, .308, whatever takes your fancy. Get it...
