I bought the Oregon 650 for my last years deer hunt. I dint use it with the chip but I've used up in the Kaibab and Alaska. No problems so far and I would buy it again if I had to. Good luck.
I've used the YETI from MTN OPS. I only use it when I am going on hikes .It gives me a boost after work to get in the hike and wont keep me up at night.
Years ago I bought my son a Mossberg youth Bantam .308 it comes with a 20" barrel its bolt action. No problems with it. He's taken two cows and two does with it. Good luck.
