I was just wondering what everyones thoughts were with using semi-auto firearms to hunt predators and varmints? Not Deer or large game, or birds! mainly coyotes, fox, and groundhogs ect.........?

I had the same thoughts. I would love to make my next predator rifle one of the new Remington semi auto .223s R-15.   But i would think the PGC won't consider it as they think people will just start "blasting" away at things.

They would be right. I have a "Black Rifle", I cannot shoot it at the local Sportmans Club. This courtesy of those few who can never be satisfied with doing things the right way..That is why we have so much posted property, a thank-you for that individual with no common sense who shot the guys cat, drove in his field, left the gate open, dumped his trash, shot in the safety zone, etc....Can you imagine the field day the anti's would have if they were legalized and some idiot was caught acting poorly..most people associate this type of firearm with the military and not sport hunting...camo clad individuals jumping out of vehicles with "machine guns" just like the 6 o'clock news..and right or wrong some farmers might not allow them on their land..jmo

AR's for hunting predators? Wow would like to use one.a 223..However when it comes down to it...99% of the time you only get one shot at night time be it with a rifle or a shotgun..My single shot Encores are outstanding predators guns. Um been using a 10 gauge singel shot this year too....However daytime hunting out of state or even in Pa that might be nice to have a 2nd shot available?

I would not even mind if they said:  Pa Hunters you can use an AR or semiatutomatic but only during day light hours...
