The use of rifles in hunting is far more efficient than using a bow; it it much easier to strike and fatally wound a deer with a rifle than with a bow. As such over a set period of time more animals could be killed with a rifle than with a bow. If rifle season was as long as bow season many more deer would be bagged, which would put a strain on the deer population. Thus, bow season is longer than rifle season because rifle hunting does much more "damage" than does bow season.

Uhh...yeah! Lots of it! All the black powder you would ever want! Not only that, if you have a muzzleloading rifle you have two hunting seasons open to you, the General season (open to any legal weapon - this is commonly called 'rifle season' but you can go out there with a muzzleloader, bow, shotgun or any other weapon large enough to reliably kill what you're hunting) and the Muzzleloader Only season.

A "sniper rifle" is simply a rifle employed for that purpose. So long as the "sniper rifle" meets the criteria and restrictions for hunting firearms in the state you're hunting in, you can use it.
In Pennsylvania, after the regular rifle season for deer, there are additional hunting opportunities during the late archery season and the late flintlock muzzleloader season. The late archery season typically runs from the first Saturday after the close of the regular rifle season until the end of the year. The late flintlock muzzleloader season usually follows in January. Specific dates can vary each year, so it's important to check the Pennsylvania Game Commission's regulations for the current year's schedule.
