[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2404207, member: 1546"] An AR 15 in 5.56/.223 will in fact kill Oklahoma deer no problem. It is all about a good hunting bullet and shot placement. Is it the best platform for the job? Not really. If the AR 15 will shoot sub 2 moa with good hunting ammo, it will be good to 200 yards. (2 moa at 200 yards is a 4 inch group) Deer vitals are bigger than that, but I don't like to risk wounding a deer and not killing it fast. You say you can only buy one rifle right now, however the cost of a basic AR is considerably more than the the cost of a basic economy scoped bolt rifle. You can buy a Ruger American rifle and scope combo in .308 for hunting and one in .223 for plinking for nearly the cost of an Wyndham Arms AR 15 at Wal Mart.
