Availability of 22 ammo
Is it my imagination or is 22 lr ammo a lot more common on the shelves since the election?
The frequency of seeing it at the local Bi-Mart has increased from once a month to once per week with enough inventory to last for several days. They allow you to buy 100 rounds at a time unless it is a larger sized brick.
I went into the local hardware store and they had a 525 round brick of Federal blue box for $29!
What are you guys seeing in your regions?

If you take into account inflation, that's probably cheaper than I was paying in the 1970's...geobru wrote:I went into the local hardware store and they had a 525 round brick of Federal blue box for $29!

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Checked our local Wally World last night, and they had none. Same as usual.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Found those same Federals at Dicks for $40 but buy one and get the second for half price, no limit. Wally World had 50 count boxes for $3.50, limit 3. So yes, I think they are much more available since the election.
I'll bet it was a Russian conspiracy. You know, they hacked into the re-stocking part of the corporate computers while fixing the election?

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
The local Cabelas has been stocked full, of every type of rimfire ammo, for several months now. No limit like Bi-Mart has.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Until I can buy 22LRs for less than a buck a box of 50, I ain't gonna be shuetin up my stash, that's for sure.
I'm hoping and praying that things change drastically in a couple weeks, until then I'm letting caution be my budget coordinator.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
The only 22 ammo I've seen here in So. Oregon is Federal, but not a lot of it. Bricks go first usually in about an hour, and then individual boxes, but they're $4.99! Needless to say I ain't bought none...

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
We have Federal, CCI, Remington, and some Winchester...it averages about $38.00 per brick, but it's here, not necessarily mountains of it, but you can find it... :)
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
I havn't seen a box of 22's in 3 years
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
I've been ordering ammo, especially .22, from Target Sports USA...free shipping on case lots. You might find it cheaper, but I got tired of driving around, and finding it all gone, or a couple box limit. I'm at about 15,000 .22s, and I'll stop when I get to 20,000. Daughter will prolly get half that.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Plenty of 22 ammo available here in Arkansas, everywhere except wall mart.
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
At a local Field & Streams here in PA they had Federal 325 rd bulk packs for $24.99 and only one other 22lr offering from Remington in the fancier 100 rd plastic box. Not exactly sure of the price though but believe it was $9.99.
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Academy Sports and Outdoors in Waxahachie, TX has a good stock of it. Some of what they have in stock is Aguila. About 5 different brands of target ammo. CCI, Wolf, and others.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
I haven't seen it getting any better around my parts.
I've only seen .22 long rifle at a Bi-Mart maybe three times in the last 8 years or so now. But They were still fairly priced as in 6.99 for the 100rd. CCI mini-mags. They always were twice the price of the bulk ammo, so I would assume the bulk 500rd bricks would still be in the $20 range, but I haven't ever seen them in I don't know how long.
I have seen .22's on occasion at a few other sporting good stores around town, not often. It is exciting to see every once in a while. The problem is the stores you see it in are charging three or four times what they are worth and I will not pay it, likely others are not either and that's why its available, but obviously people do pay it, because it wont sit on the shelf to long before there is none again. I wish people would quit paying the inflated prices and let them choke on it.

Where in Oregon are you? In the PDX Metro area the shelves are full at Cabelas, Dicks, Sportsmans Warehouse,etc and the prices are not inflated. Bi-Mart has plenty. They just limit how much you can buy.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Gresham, I go to bi-mart all the time, never see it. Those other stores I seldom ever go into, but amongst the ones I was referring to as selling at jacked up prices. I won't pay it.jdad wrote:Udy wrote:I haven't seen it getting any better around my parts.

I did use to like the sportsmans before it turned into what ever that Canadian company was that bought them out. Never was the same again.

Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Targetmaster. http://www.targetmaster.com Has and always has had all of the 22 ammo you can carry. Right now CCI Mini Mags are 4 for a 5000 case. Then there's Remington bucket of bullets ...all kinds of stuff I can't remember. They advertise on Gunbroker and will ship for all of your shooting needs. As for .223 ammo ...at the moment you can buy a 1000 round case of Remington UMC 55 fmj for $300.-----6
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
I work at Cabela's in Centerville, Ohio. We've had plenty of .22 LR since we opened in April 2016, no limits and it's always in stock. The best price is CCI at about $4.00 a box of 50 but we carry bulk boxes as well.
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
Last week I found 22 Magnum ammo and this week 22 Minimags at my local Walmart. I've not seen 22 ammo there for a while. There is a Bass Pro and 3 Cabelas locations within an hour or so drive that have almost always had some 22 in stock for months
Re: Availability of 22 ammo
I kind of gave up on all the cheap bulk stuff. My LGS has been selling me RWS rifle match for $45 a brick. I don't shoot as fast as I used to, I shoot with more purpose.
