I may actually want an evil, icky black rifle
NE Bull:
DEGuns usually have some Oracles in stock and on sale:

Now the AR snobs will balk about DPMS, but frankly, they've been in the game a while and I've never had a problem with any of mine, and one of them as been thru hell (Afghanistan) and back.

Congratulations. Not to muddle things for you too much but AR's also come in other (more deer appropriate) calibers too. My current 'go to' deer rifle is a 6.8spc AR (from Palemtto State Armory as mentioned before). It's very accurate and has been quite effective.

Yep! I did at least know that much, and it's kind of the appeal. If I go and buy a youth-size bolt gun, I forever own a youth-size bolt gun. If I buy an AR then I can turn it into a whole lotta things based on the "mission".
(Some web surfing has taught me that if you're going to own an AR you have to grow a goatee and use the words 'mission', 'platform' and 'system' a whole bunch.)

+1 on the Palmetto State Armory stuff. They're pretty good quality for the money. Not top of the line, but pretty decent.

If you want to make it really special, build the rifle with your son. Then you both get the satisfaction of him taking his first deer with something you built together. Building it yourself also allows you to get the exact rifle parts you want from the start, so in the long run it's cheaper as you are not replacing parts someone else used to build the rifle.
