Your first deer rifle?

My great grandpas lever action 243 that he passed down to my grandpa who passed it down to me. Took my first deer at 10 years old
 
I normally hate on 6.5 Creedmor for an elk cartridge, but if you want one, truly "do all" rifle with moderate recoil that's probably a good option.
 
Mine was a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 and it took out a lot of deer. Had a fixed 6 power side mounted scope, and when that 170 grain Core-lok hit, he was down. The Remington CL was often called the “most dangerous mushroom in the woods” and set out to prove it.
