Right now ammo is extremely hard to find. Someone recently posted that Cabelas in Hamburg has hardly any. If you plan to do a lot of walking while hunting, an Ithaca Model 37 might interest you. They are light weight, reliable, easily available used, and relatively inexpensive. If you go the cheaper route with an Axis or American get the model with an accutrigger. I have a Ruger American Predator in .204, it's accurate, lightweight, functions fine, but doesn't have the solid feel of the older wood/blued guns. The Cabelas flyer I have doesn't have a Ruger Americal for $280, they start at $396, the 10/22 is $270. They have a Savage Axis XP in 350 Legend for $250 with a Weaver 3-9x40 scope, mounted and bore sighted. PA has tons of local gun shops, go see what they have in stock, new and used, how they feel, and if they are in your budget.,
