SB 737 allow Hunting with Semi automatic Rifles in PA – Rep Saccone 2015-2016

[mpan72]

was there a magazine limit (proposed/rumor) for small game? I didn't see any in the agenda.

I did not see any either. Doesn't mean they won't be a limit though. I am betting there will be but I expect it will be 10+1.

The rumor I heard was 5+1 capacity is being considered.

It's in the proposed changes in the agenda. 5 + 1 for deer, bear, elk. Start on p34. No limitation for small game/furbearers. Finally (hopefully), a real PA use for a 10/22 or similar.

That's good. At the meeting I was giving the board data about our surrounding states, the number 3 came up quite a bit. I was starting to think they might have thought I was asking for a 3 round limit. I surely don't! I'd prefer no mag limit like WV, but 5+1 sounds good to me since 5 round magazines are quite easy to find; 3 round magazines are not so easy to get. I don't want to have to modify my stuff- like putting a governor on a sports car.

Now... to get to work on that LR-308 upper in .450 Marlin!

When is the vote?

[Steve in PA]

It was approved today. I just ordered some 5-round clips for my M1 Garand! Guess what I'll be hunting with this year????

I'll need to find a 5 round magazine for my SCAR 17S now.

[Hodgie]

I am sure lots of PA members will be stocking up on these.

It would be nice to see Magpul start making limiters for their .308 mags as well as lower capacity ones.

Here's something for all you guy's who like lugging that battle axe M1A around.

I was hoping that small game would not have been restricted to the 5 rounds only clause if it indeed is.

[knight0334]

I'd expect a mag limit of 5rds which is more typical of the states that do have semi-auto hunting and hunting mag limits.

5rnd en bloc clips are available for the Garand.

Called it...

No caliber restrictions on deer? Oh man....

[thefirstndsecond]

Yea.. I wouldn't use my 223 on deer.

But a nice benelli r1 or browning bar in 06..

Or since I am so good with my current 700 in 06 maybe I'll just use that for deer.
