Some states do allow it.
It depends on the gun and caliber but most semi-automatic rifles such as the Ruger .22 are legal to hunt with in California.
NO. Nowhere in the US is a convicted felon able to legally possess a firearm.
"no has to be center fire" That is the wrong answer, YES, is the correct answer. Vermont makes no restrictions on what can be used to hunt in Vermont State other than no fully automatic weapons ( machine guns), and no semi-auto rifle capable of holding more than 6 rounds unless it is a 22 caliber weapon using rimfire ammo. Anywhere a rifle can be used a handgun can also be used. Muzzleloaders can be used anywhere a modern firearm can be used. laser sights are illegal.
Yes, subject to legal restrictions which vary from state and even within some states. The 30-30 is considered the classic deer rifle.
A felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms in ANY part of the United States.

If a rifle is permitted for hunting, semi autos can be used in MOST states. Pennsylvania does not permit them for big game hunting. You would need to check the hunting regulations for YOUR state.
