I own a few High Standard Victor's in which I shoot CCI SV which is the most highly recommended ammo for it.
I am considering buying a HS Olympic model which shoots .22 shorts, and don't seem to be finding any for sale.
What is the recommended ammo in .22 short standard velocity?

I used to have one, it shot anything I ran through it. That was one gun I should have kept.:(
 
Even though I know Remington, Winchester and CCI all make 22 Short ammo I rarely see it for sale. This was even before the shortage. When it dod hit the shelves it usually didn't last long because it wasn't readily available. If you buy a gun chambered in 22 Short you might be setting yourself up for disappointment when it comes to ammo availability.

I have a few boxes of Winchester .22 Shorts I bought last time I saw them for sale and they are accurate in my Single-Six which is why I buy them. I have a box of 100 CCI .22 Shorts too. Unfortunately they are no longer cheaper than the 22 LR ammo as they once were.
 
I've been searching around for availability, and they are scarce.
I can find CCI on GB for 20 cents/round. I would never consider paying that much for it.
I'm pretty much dropping any plans of buying the pistol.
The auction ends in 2 hours, and seller is including 75 rounds of ammo. That's not going to go too far.
