If you do purchase handgun from Cabela's, you will have to ship to nj ffl since you buying out of state, so you might as well scratch Beretta

What's the difference buying from Cabelad versus any where else? 

Can you save enough buying there to cover the cost to ship it to NJ and cover the transfer fee?

I could buy from Bass Pro Shop in Atlantic City. No FFL required.

Dave, what out of state hunts are on your wishlist?

[beaverman]

Do you have access to a range?  The 220 would be a good deer gun for NJ but at $2-3 per shot its not something to take to the range.  The pistol requires a permit (so a delay) plus shipping to NJ and a transfer fee so with Cabelas prices already higher than most shops and adding the extra cost and delay waiting for permit I'd go for the 308.  Good to have a rifle for out of state opportunities and there is plenty of ammo available in 308 that you can pick up some cheap stuff for plinking at the range.

Ohio would be a favorite but realistically I can hunt Missouri as a buddy of mine lives out there and wants me to come out.

I usually shoot at Range 14. As for transferring a pistol, it's not required. I can buy it at Bass Pro in Atlantic City.

I'm pretty sure Ohio is only shotguns, muzzleloaders and straight walled rifle calibers.

Tom - thanks for the suggestion but I already have a CVA Optima that is more than capable.

I usually save those points and gift cards for what I need rather than what I want. A thousand bucks can go pretty quick at Cabela's.

220....More use for it and super shooting gun

I agree, but I'm too practical.  I would buy something that I would use regularly.  For me it would be the crossbow.  

[Slayer1962]

It depends what you do most. I have a 220 and love it . If i put the cross hairs on it it goes down. 

I tend to hunt more wit crossbow than any other weapon so that was my priority. I bought a Ravin but would agree a Ten point is an excellent weapon. 

The longer seasons and more opportunity for hunting small pieces of property were my motivation. 

You may have a long shotgun season where you hunt and or open fields with longer shot opportunity ( yes the 220 over the Ravin every time in that situation) 

I also have a few hand guns but that is a different category in my mind. Fun plinking for most people.  I have handgun hunted a lot and have some specialty weapons in that category.

I would buy what you would use most and only you can answer that
