Queensland Gun exchange in Brisbane, Australia. Lovely bunch of people operating under incredibly difficult circumstances.

Jefferson Gun Outlet on Airline Hwy in Metairie has Federal 325 Value Packs as of yesterday. They also have a decent stack of Aquilla Super Extra. Sorry, didn't check the prices. Give 'em a call before you go there.

They had them a lot during the shortage and were raping people on prices with it. Wont step foot in there again. Have never had good service there.

I've shopped there MANY times... never had an issue at all. "Raping people" on prices? Come on... they were NO hire than what was even available online during the shortage and STILL couldn't keep them on the shelf. They were no hire than Puglia's or any other local outlet other than Wal-Mart or Academy (if you could even find any on the shelf because of the hoarders or guys going in and buying it all up to resell). Also, no shipping... buy a brick or a single box from Midway or one of the online retailers at $0.08 a round and pay $30 to ship either way? The online sources that sold for seemingly lower prices made up for those prices in shipping.

It reminds me of a couple of other scenarios...

Years back there was a fire at a PC Memory plant in Korea that caused a HUGE spike in memory chips that lasted nearly a decade or longer! The kicker was the amount of chips supplied to the US from that facility was less than 1% of the chips coming into the country.

Or how about Gasoline... you pay inflated prices EVERY DAY for gas. It varies from station to station and even increases depending on the "specials" they're running or who they're associated with... and the oil giants even regulate production to keep the price from dropping below a set level. So figure out which stations are supplied by them and never buy it again?

Please...

If the demand is there... the price goes up. That's business my friend.

As for the service... Never had good service? It's not an in-depth customer service process...

1. Customer says... "Can I see that firearm?" or "I need a box of (insert ammo here)".
2. If "ammo" goto 4 else goto 3
3. Clerk opens case
4. Clerk picks up firearm/ammo (if ammo, goto 6)
5. does a safety check
6. hands firearm/ammo to customer
7. Customer response... "I'll take it" or "No thanks"
8. If "No thanks", then goto 10... else goto 9
9. Customer pays for item.
10. customer leaves store or continues shopping.
11. If customer leaves, then end, else goto 1

How much more service do you need??? hahaha...

Keep in mind they also are a little high but sell ammo and rent guns{at the other location}
They can get what the going rate is and were providing a service. Lots of new shooters{and kids} 22 and needed ammo and renters. At least they had some
They were no higher than others were asking and had it so shooters could shoot

Sounds like Cheaper Than Dirt with their Price Gouging.

I put in a backorder for a case of Federal 525 .22lr at Midway USA in mid January 2014, and it got filled in July.
Extremely surprised, and they did not gouge on price - got them right at 4 cents each, including the shipping cost.
One thing I noticed, is that Midway USA no longer has ANY .22 ammo that can be backordered since around late March.
Wonder what they know that would be nice for us to know.

Academy in Covington got a shipment of .22 in today. I bought a Rem. Bucket O' Bullets (1400 rounds). I think there was 1 more of those left and a few bricks of 500 Remington. They were running $0.046 per round, so about $0.05 after tax.

Nice, very refreshing to see some retailers not gouging.

I got 2 boxes of Federal about a month ago at Academy in Slidell.
Got home and noticed 40 rounds per box ?
When did they start doing this ?
That just pushed the per round cost up by about 20%
Sneaky dogs - getting like packaged food manufacturers.

Go to slickguns. They have deals almost daily.

Doctor481 · Oct 22, 2014

Shelf full of .22 ammo at Jim's in Baton Rouge today.
Didn't price any; shoot some every weekend and still have over 5000 rounds.

NaughtyMooose · Oct 23, 2014

Walmart has ordered and stock piled a tremendous amount of .22 ammo that will become available as part of a large Black Friday sale lead item...Pace yourself
