Yes the 62 TSX kills deer just fine, in fact I wouldn't be afraid to go after anything with it.

I have 3 Kimber Montana's, have had Remington Mountain rifles as well as their heavy barreled rifles and more than a few sporters. I was calling coyote this weekend with one of my AR's and was reminded that nothing I have ever owned is as comfortable to use than a well built carbine.

If someone doesn't like them, then use something else but I like em just fine.
