I would go with the Mosin because of the superior ballistics and the fact that bolt action rifles tend to be more accurate than semi-autos. Practice with the ammo you will use in the hunt. Also make sure you check with your state hunting laws regarding the types of weapons permitted for deer. In my state of Ohio, you can only hunt deer with a shotgun slug, bow, handgun (.357 or larger caliber with at least a 5" barrel) or muzzle loading rifle.
