As far as the stores in Lynchburg go, I haven't seen any .22LR anywhere between here and Roanoke since February or so, except for some $25/box Federal target ammo at Petry's. I haven't been in the Pawn Shops or Lynchburg Arms though, so they may have it at higher prices. Cheaper Than Dirt has had some if you want to do business with them, but expect to pay a hefty premium for the availability. Cabela's and MidwayUSA have it online maybe once a week, but it goes pretty quickly.
I don't know how much longer the shortages will last, but for my own sake I got a CO2 powered Crosman 1077 repeating air rifle for shooting in the back yard to at least have something to shoot and keep myself amused without having to worry about blowing ammunition that I can't replace.
*Edited to Add: I think Trader Jerry's in Salem gets it in regularly. When I was down there about a month ago they'd received something like a 10,000 round order one day that week and it was all gone within about 1/2 hour of putting it out. You could always check with them to see when their next order will come through and wait for it.
