I used to think the same thing - a lot of folks did. That's because we all use common sense - I don't know what wild hair the ODWC had the day they made this reg, but they didn't use much of it when making that restriction.

I'm a big fan of the ODWC, I appreciate what we have here for hunting, but to restrict only one caliber for deer (and one of the smallest usable calibers at that) is stupid.

If I recall correctly, 10 or more years ago, the mag limit did apply to all rifles. Not so anymore.

My Very Big Bad, cause I had asked him about my AR. Sorry for being a Dumb *@$%

Don't beat yourself up too bad. When you asked him about your AR, he assumed it was a .223.
My AR in .243 WSSM doesn't have any magazine restriction. Its only a cartridge restriction, not a restriction on any make or model of firearm.

I recall the same thing. One unintended consequence at the time was magnum pistol caliber lever action carbines often exceeded the mag capacity limit. I think even some long barreled 30-30 lever action rifles were over the limit as well.

Lol, you could always pull of the whole, but my rifle is marked 5.56mm not .223 sorry.........................

I think it's a regulation that hasn't been, and needs to be, updated. Either restrict them all, or no restrictions. Looks like to me that it was put into place the only rifles they were worried about were AR's. That would explain why they set the .22 cal centerfire restriction. They left the 55 grain bullet weight in because there were probably a lot of people hunting with bolt action .223's. You can't cut the bolt actions out, but if they leave the 55 grain weight minimum in place they can't stop the AR's. Some genius some where probably said, "Lets restrict the magazines. That'll stop the AR's from hitting the woods." Which is stupid.

Since then people have started to hunt more, and more, with assault rifles. A lot of which aren't .22 cal. So the regulation REALLY looks stupid now. It's something that needs to be addressed, but legislature doesn't even know it's out there, or ODWC has tried to change it, and the legislature hasn't it deemed it to be worth changing.

Who knows. Could be completely wrong though.

Some reason I want to say it was due to making the AR a "sporting rifle" in the governments eyes back when the ban was going, I could be wrong but I recall some talk about it how true it is I couldn't tell ya! I just like to run the shorter 5 round mags so I don't get all tangled up in the brush. Later,
