Not sure why the selection is so narrow. In Ohio you can shoot smokeless, or at least that is what my book says. If you want easy cleaning there is the answer. You could buy a Savage or the way I would do it is buy an NEF and order the smokeless barrel from smokelessmuzzleloading. Both of these are available in stainless and they are both american made. The Savage is a little picky from what I have heard but a choice to consider. I have an NEF Huntsman and also a stainless Omega. My Omega is a great gun but rather selective on what it will shoot well. It will not shoot 777 powder and most sabot bullet combinations will not load without switching to thinner sabots. The NEF is not so picky. In my opinion the NEF is easier to clean (not that there is a big difference but the Omega has to be taken out of the stock which makes return to zero a little questionable from time to time). The NEF when disassembled goes back to zero every time as the barrel to stock contact remains solid. Most stock type rifles have to be bedded and possibly pillar bedded to return to zero when the action is removed and reinstalled. My Omega is one that exibits this situation.
