I may actually want an evil, icky black rifle
Mambac:
Feralcatkiller, an AR is a great hunting rifle, no matter what anyone tells you. I would recommend getting a 1/7 twist. You will be able to shoot anything from 55 grain all the way to 77 grain with no issues. It also doesn't sound like you will shoot more than a few hundred rounds a year. If that is the case, don't bother spending the extra money for hammer forged barrel or even chrome lined barrels. Very few people use their rifle enough to see the benefits of either. Standard chrome moly barrels have a potential to be slightly more accurate as well. As far as hunting goes, it's all about bullet construction. As long as where you are hunting doesn't legally prohibit the use of .22 center fire on deer, you're good to go. Barnes TSX is one of the best bullets for your application, and if you aren't hunting with it, get some cheap FMJ and have fun with it. Be careful though, because once you have had a taste for shooting an AR15, you will buy five more. ;D

Guess witch rifle is the deer rifle. Hint: They both are. The icky black rifle is an AR in 7.62x39. It is just as accurate as the Browning BLR in .308 next to it and I doubt that the deer would know the difference between the two when it goes down. ;D When not being used as a deer hunting tool it makes a great fun gun shooting cheap AK ammo. 8)

Is there a limit on magazine capacity for a deer hunting rifle imposed by Nebraska? I thought I heard awhile back that there was.
One that hasn't been mentioned yet is the .223 Wylde, which can shoot .223 and 5.56 both. I got a Colt AR with that chamber because it was on sale at CDNN, and it seems to be accurate enough (though I haven't done any formal testing with it yet). I don't know if there is any practical difference between .223 Wylde and 5.56, so I suppose you just go with whichever you happen to find.

Yes, any auto loading rifle is limited to a mag that only holds five rounds. You can have one in the chamber for a total of six loaded rounds. Mag must be limited by some means that cannot be easily changed or just simply only holds five rounds.

I brought up wylde in my orginal post. This chamber design is somewhere between 556 and 223 dimensions and something with a difrebt throat depth. It was deveoled for precision long range shooting. You can have high pressure loads with a higher precision chamber compared to a standard 223 Remington.
