Yes! It's a 22 and they're great for small game and target. I own that same gun and it's accurate.

I'm sure the Model 60 is a good gun but you can't hunt with it in PA. The regs say you can use any manually operated or autoloading SHOTGUN per page 21 of the 2009 Hunting and Trapping Digest. Rifles have to manually operated so stick to a bolt action. The Model 60 is autoloading so is not allowed in PA for small game. I have a Ruger 10/22 and can't use it for the same reason.

PA has some odd laws. I guess it's a byproduct of being in the Northeast...or is there some other explanation?

I think it's from being too close to NJ!

The above are right about autoloaders. But really, even just Wal-Mart should have the solution to your problems. Or contact local gun clubs, and ask if anyone has posted a for-sale add for any sort of a non-auto .22.
