Bolt or lever .22. Iron sights to start.
Bolt .223.
For the deer rifle there are lots of good choices. A 6.5 CM would be a good starting place. A .30-06 (probably with reduced recoil loads) would be a good ending place and one that would last a lifetime.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
