What about the semi-autos, like the ruger 10/22 or remington 597. Good follow up shots, quick shooting and with a little work they can be major tack drivers. I had an 55D Anschultz in .22 magnum, that was the most accurate .22 i have ever shot. It was incredible, my cousin had a 10/22 with a bull barrel and high power scope and benchrest stock and i could shoot circles around him. I wish i hadnt sold it, but i do really like my 10/22 it does great on targets and squirrels.

Just to say it incase it wasn't said here. Semi-auto rifles and pistols can not be used in PA to hunt. Semi-auto shotguns can be used but must be limited (like all shotguns in PA) to 3 rounds.
