is it legal to hunt deer with this gun in minnesota ?

I don't know what the hell these Fuds are talking and whining about

Yes the gun is legal, that was the question right?

Minnesota mandates a .220 caliber or greater with soft point ammo

The only consideration would be magazine capacity rules if any for the state, but you can buy five round hunting mags for fairly cheap

And no you can not try to pass off a .223 wound as a 12ga wound

And I know you didn't ask, but that's too much for that gun wait a few months til the prices come back down to earth

What Chris said. The .223 is a great round for the military because it's cheaper than a full size round and they don't care about making someone suffer if they shoot them. It is, however, a glorified .22 and is NOT a big game round, nor should it ever be. If you want to hunt with a military rifle get an M1 (.30-06), an AK -47 / SKS (.308), etc. but don't try to hunt big game with a small game round.

I Believe that caliber is legal for deer. But the gun is pushing the envelope. I have seen dnr out and about many times. In minnesota.

yeah jeesh I want to hear about it when the shotgun stunt backfire you can't hunt in over half the states and probably will get your right to own any firearm taken away for poaching among other things

and duh a 6.8mm or a .243 or .308 AR-10

I got an AR-10 thats .308 and a 20 rnd. box! WWHOOHOO! Got it during the clinton ban.Loudest damn gun I own.Scares the hell outta everyone at the range.(inept flash hider)

I would'nt recommend it to anyone,,,,,,But DPMS makes good variations that work way better!

You're just thinking the wrong caliber.!

Armalite makes a good 6.8 as well as Barrrett in 6.8

Welcome to the BADAZS game hunting_----First shot just brings their head up!!!

(I see the word gizzard which is what a deadman poacher pulls out of a black bear to sell)

this link should give you all the information you will need, but I wouldn't recommend using a .223 for deer, if u want a 'bad ***' AR15, look for an AR10 in .308 or at least .243

Either get serious or stick to the Airsoft guns, kid. You're not a hunter, or a sportsman. Tell you what - buy your bad-a** rifle, go out and shoot a deer, and when that game warden comes by, try to convince him that little 1/4" diameter hole was made by a shotgun. After he confiscates your rifle, hunting gear, and truck, come back to Yahoo Answers in the Legal section and try to find a lawyer to defend you. I can't wait to read that post.

first off some things you need to ask your DNR office.

Minimum bullet diameter...some states allow use of a .223 ...some don't... your obligated to find that out ...don't rely on us, we don't work for the State of MN

Second... if you did get caught (if that was a problem) you would get charged with obstruction and lying to a peace officer at a minimum.

They toss your tail in jail...impound your gun, car and jock strap...get the picture?

DNR folks wander all over... trust me they know by sound where to wait and see who wanders out of the woods to the places the trucks are parked.

Bad a**ed gun eh?... your a dipwad .

gives the rest of us a bad name

yeah! reno you rock! My answer is no.

If you are not concerned with the law enforcer in the woods, then why pose the question.

Follow the law for hunting. We don't need another headline about some idiot hunting Deer with an assault rifle, and shot at what he thought was a deer( 27 times) but turned out to be the neighbors dog, or another hunter.

Its clear by your question, that you don't respect anything and are in fact a detriment to the hunters of the world.
