Hunting handguns.

[Adam Helmer]

Jack & skeet,

Yes, Remington brought out the 760 Rifle because PA requires "Manually operated rifles" for hunting. That has been the law in PA for as far back as my collection of Hunting & Trapping Digests go. Also, back in the 1950s and onward, PA was the #1 seller of hunting licenses in the nation with over a million licenses sold every year. Hence, Remington did cater to that large number of deer hunters.

In the early 1990s, we still had a great deer herd in PA, and I lived in NH. My neighbor bought a non-resident PA hunting license and bought a 742 in .30-06 at the local NH gunshop. He drove to PA and learned he could not hunt deer with the semi-auto. He had not read the book. In NH semi-autos are legal and big game has a 5-shot limit on magazines.
