another 22 score!

[roval]

haven't been to lgs past few weeks and when i went this AM picked up 4 100 rounders of cci minimags $9.95 which is not too bad and what I've been willing to pay for cci minimags for the past year.

this afternoon after a haircut, decided to swing by the local Dick's. they had full shelves of cci minimags. 300 rd box of cci tactical, fed automatch.... they were buy 1 get 50% and no limit so i bought 4 boxes of fed automatch , 4 boxes of 300 rd cci tactical, 4 boxes of cci minimags which comes out to fed automatch $18.75 /box similar to WM prices, cci minimag 100 $7.50/box and 300 rd tactical $22.50/ box.

i hope this is a sign of things to come. i had just ordered a volquartsen barrel for my smith and wesson victory this AM and my son and i have been going through 300 to 400 rds 22 lr each range session. he also just discovered the fun factor of a 10/22 last outing which he shoots better my cz 455 ultralux.

Cool beans!

Glad you're able to shoot the snot out of your .22s again.

Picked up a box (100) Remington Golden Bullets at our local WalMart this morning for $5.00. I took one box, guy behind me took two. I ask the clerk to save some for the kids.

i used to have 22lr only range days. 1 out of 3 range outings. it was amazing to see the fed automatch stacked 4 boxes high and 4 deep on a 4 to 5 foot shelf.

I scored 4 100 round trays of CCI Standard Velocity LR rounds for $6.95 at a local gun store last weekend......

 

[csa77]

about 2 months ago the local dicks had the 325rnd federal auto match on sale. I bought the last 14 boxes 6.6 cents a round after tax

I nearly walked away, but I told myself the new post sandy hook prices are never coming down.

 

[dekibg]

with my 4,000 round stash of 22lr ammo, I am all set for few years
Recently, I just feel that low recoil of 22 guns gives me no satisfaction :-(
I can afford to go and buy more 22lr ammo right now, but why when I have enough of those for my needs.

 

[csa77]

I have to agree. I rarely, if ever shoot 22lr anymore since you can reload 9mm at or below 10cents a round

Ill still buy 22 tho. im buying just about every ammo or reloading deal i can get.

November is coming. 1 candidate being anti gun the other was anti gun up untill 3 years ago or so....2nd amendment is screwed

 

[Swing]

Neat.

Academy had Remington Golden Bullets at $28/525 and $79/1400 over the last several weeks. Limit 1 box per person per day. I snagged ~6800 rounds over three weeks. I hadn't been able to find bulk 22lr for a decent price in several years. To celebrate I also bought an S&W Victory target pistol. Pew pew pew pew.

 

[Grayrock]

I was running low on my varmint ammo for my squirrel gun and the last gun show I went to I finally found some. I bought a box because I had had such a hard time finding any. I paid the piper for it, though. Then as my luck runs, I saw some at the local Wally World a couple of weeks later. Oh well- I supported a local economy. The box on top is my almost empty stash from several years ago. What a spread in prices!

 

[roval]

should have bought more automatch at those prices as i just used up one box yesterday.

 

[Alte Schule]

Sorry to hear that there is still a shortage of .22 LR in some places. I see it around here (Central Texas) all the time. CCI, Winchester, Remington all on the shelf at about 8.5 cents a round. Hopefully the days of gun show jerks charging 20-25$ for 100 rds of CCI Mini Mags (which I saw a couple of years ago) is long past.

 

[redneck2]

As above, our local Dicks has a ton of Federal Auto Match, but not that good of price. I have maybe 6-7k of .22 . If they have the 50% off the second I'll still get a thousand more. Wanna get to at least 10k.

Yup...you guys hang in there!

Our local independent shop has been increasingly awash in .22 for the last 3 or 4 months - his shelves are chock full of .22, and no doubt he has some in the back.

He usually charges around $5 / brick more than Walmart prices.

I've actually found .22 on our local Walmart's shelves a number of times recently during the middle of the day - apparently the local flippers can't get rid of what they have, so they're not wiping out Walmart early mornings on the day it arrives.

 

[roval]

with the exception of cci where I'm willing to pay 10 cents a round, I only buy at Walmart prices for bulk ammo. thus even if they have it $5 dollars more than WM I never buy it.
there was a 2 year period where I shot only about 300 rds of 22 lr.

 

[ilbob]

gander's web site still has 325 rd boxes of federal target grade 22LR for $24.95 with free shipping. max 5 boxes. been there for several weeks. I got my 5 boxes. if it is still up in a few weeks I may get some more.

nothing at walmart the last year or so except 22LR shotshells., although lately they have put back up markers on a shelf for several varieties of 22 so they must have it now and then.

 

[Singletracker]

While I've been able to find .22 on occasion at Wally world (LGS has it usually but at 2x ww prices) What I have not seen is the Federal 525 value packs. I see Automatch fairly often, but the red/black box of the Federal is a unicorn.

 

[22-rimfire]

Saw a bunch of Automatch at Dicks the other day for I believe $24/$25 per bulk pack. Still a bit rich for me when I have a fair amount. But it was there. I would have bought some if I needed it.

 

[mdThanatos]

I got lucky and found some .22 at a local Walmart, bought my 3 box limit. It was the Automatch 325 packs. They have been out since. Dicks locally has none in stock. Cabelas has the 325 packs for $4 more than Walmart and regular CCI for $5 a box and a couple of weeks ago the regular Federal blue box .22 40gr was $2.99 a box, they sold out before I could get too many. I did manage to find some Mini Mags though so I was happy at that.

 

[MrGiggles]

I sorely wish it was that way here.

LGS are still getting 5.00/50rd for Armscor and similar. Walmart and Academy, forget it. Gone as soon as it comes in.

Missouri is behind times, maybe people will stop panic buying and hoarding in a couple more years.

I haven't shot any .22 in years.

Monday, the new Dicks in Gainesville a couple of 325 boxes of Federal Auto Match Solids at $25 each plus tax.

It is not often I get "carded" at "Over 60" so that was a delight.

Did not really "need" more ammo, but it was there which was nice so......

Used the excuse that I had used up some ancient Wildcat for the scouts last month.

They had maybe 30 boxes when I left.

They had it during the grand opening after the 4th, but the cashier lines were an hour long and my time was not worth it. Same-same with tennis and camping equipment the kids wanted.
