I'm not sure if PA has yet to allow the use of semi auto rifles for hunting. I know there is a vote coming up shortly if it didn't already happen in the last day or so.
And who knows their reasoning. Probably the same reasoning used for not allowing Sunday hunting and the use of air rifles for small game.
I really love hunting in Penn's woods but sometimes I believe that the commissioners on the PGC occasionally suffer from rectal/cranial inversion.
But to answer your question on what .22 LR to get that is a very personal choice. I have a Savage bolt action, A Remington 572 BDL pump action, a Winchester 250 lever action, and s S&W M&P15 semi auto. They're all fun and all have their place. For hunting I like the bolt and the lever. The pump was a gift from my parents many years ago and I hand on to it for sentimental reasons. It doesn't get used that much and still looks brand new.
