I would recommend going with the .22 rifle of your choice. Then later you could pick up a Single Action .22 revolver for under $200.00 as a companion, that you will be less likely to just leave in the truck when hiking.

A 10/22 is a lot more versatile than a .410, from target shooting to small-game hunting to self-defense. A .410 can do some of those things, but not as economically, as conveniently, or as well, in my opinion. (Though you can’t hunt flying birds with a 10/22, a .410 wouldn’t be my choice for that either.)
I alsi agree with the suggestion that if you ever do get a shotgun, go with 20 gauge instead of .410. You can get light recoiling loads for 20ga, but at the same time it is much more effective if you do any hunting or skeet/clays shooting someday, and from a self-defense standpoint it far outclasses .410.

I think Chiappa makes an updated version of the M6 Scout for a reasonable price. Maybe that will fill both needs. I don't know anything about them, quality and such. Might be worth checking in to.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to go do that now.
