.22 long rifle.... or lack there of

[yellow dog]

It would seem to me that if you are 14 years behind in your production and have been for three years that you would undertake at least a miner expansion.(ATK) federal, cci

IM Not a smart feller by any means but just seems like good cowboy logic to me.

went to a local gun show and they wanted $150.00 for a 575 cnt federal box. I thought whoa now those babies are marked up.

went to half a dozen stores and was told the same, there are guys that show up every morning and buy what comes in. Everybody's policy now is one box per customer per day. so I started talking with the clerk and he informed me that they had a couple of cases of .22's in the back for "people who by guns" I thought 2 cases?? and you cant sale me one box???

Oh well, I needed an excuse for a new rugger take down.

The stores can do something to influence this. It's been hit and miss, but one local shop has had .22 showing up every month or so, and they sell it at reasonable prices, one brick to a customer.

I'm fortunate that I'd accumulated a pretty fair supply before the shortage. Have been buying sporadically when I can in recent months.
