Oggie,
To be frank, I haven't looked really hard for this caliber on the shelves of my local gun store.
However, I have not seen either the ammunition or firearms available for this caliber at any of the stores that I have been to.
I believe Savage is the only company making rifles for this caliber. If we get a few more companies making the ammo and the rifles, it has a chance to catch on.
I haven't see any information in the firearms press lately about it either. I'd hate to buy a rifle now and not be able to purchase any ammo in a few years time.
Like you, I have been considering a .22 Mag firearm for the present. If in the future, if caliber becomes more prevalent, I might consider a new rifle.
