The BO is just a bit above 30 carbine level performance (in my opinion), however if you shoot magic bullets like the 110 grain VorTX it performs well for deer.

as has been said many times on this forum, still many don't understand, the bullet and your ability to shoot makes a lot of difference. I have seen 150's out of a 30-06 kill a deer but not exit, I have seen 60 grain TSX 22 caliber bullets shoot thru similar sized deer, I have seen deer lost with big 30's etc.
