[QUOTE="JW/OK, post: 1048497, member: 6034"] A 14" Contender in 223 will take deer with precise shot placement, but do you really want to have to pass up a shot on a buck of a lifetime because of distance or difficult shot angles? That being said a 14" barrel should be as accurate as a longer barrel. I would prefer at least a 30/30 barrel for deer if you want to shoot a rifle caliber. Whatever you decide pistol hunting means 10X more range time to be proficient. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
