Michael, the Howa Legacy GameKing package in 6.5 is what you want. It is an accurate "Deer" ready package that comes with a decent scope. I have a Howa, Savage and Remington that are all comparable in quality on the lower end. They are chambered in different calibers, but are all accurate out of the box. As long as you fine tune the sight in from the factory bore sight in, you will bring home the venison. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/2084_2108/products_id/719005907/LEGACY+HOWA+GAMEKING+PACKAGE+6.5+CR
