the savage mark II bolt gun is excellent. MUCHO bang for buck. it will earn as fine a scope as you can afford. i have the cheaper model without the accu-trigger. i reckon the a-t model could be worth the extra money.
as for pellet rifles, i find a .22 pellet rifle seems to kill quicker than the .22 LR at pellet ranges. must be the energy dump of the slower, soft pellet. but the .22 LR will reach on out there, as you know ...
