will there ever be .22 again?

[wiliermdb]

The rimfire button on Cabela's sight will disappear when there is no rimfire ammo of any kind available. It was up this past weekend with only .22 WMR available.

I believe that it will level out.

That's not always true. I have purchased some when the button has not been visible.

Placed in wrong category. I know the IT person for Cabela corporate and he explained it as the program is set up so that if nothing is applied to a specific category then the "button" will not show on the website.

In your case it was most likely placed in another category and that's why you found it instead of having a direct "rimfire" link.

I've found lots of items, not just ammunition, on their site. Whether the button is present or not. I've figured out some tricks...

?........ I've figured out some tricks...

Wanna share some for a fellow HAM?

How much per Brick?

Every keeps posting pics of ammo.

The Ammo isn't hard to find, a non-raping PRICE is what is hard to find.

Who cares if someone has 30 Bricks, if they're selling for $40 a brick.

Know what I mean!? Post the PRICE PEOPLE!

Those ones at Ferrara are 3.95 for a 50 round box.

That's not a good price if that's the case.

Maybe it's good for those that are very desperate... Very...

It's crazy the same stuff cost we 21.99 a box of 500 at Academy not too long ago. I almost bought some the other day for 35 just to go shoot ended up just shooting my g17 more than usual.

Sorry.... I meant tricks.

Was at Academy in Slidell Monday afternoon and they had a dozen boxes of 22lr 333 count for $15 each.they allow 1 per customer.My wife was with me so I scored 2boxes.

I'm the odd guy.

I don't buy .22 just to go bang with. One rifle has a liking for Eley, another DEMANDS Eley, and another can use certain models of Federal on a short range, but prefers Fiocchi or Eley. See a trend here.

$5 a box for me is cheap. Even before the 'interesting times' I dropped $8 to $10 a box for .22. Accuracy costs money. Even still Eley Target which is my low end practice ammo is not available by the case which is how I bought it before.

Will the old days of $10 Remington bricks at Wally World come back? Not a chance. We have more shooters than ever before. Production has remained the same. The rest of the gun culture has figured out that rimfire is a great way to train for cheap. All we can do at this point is put in our orders and wait. Recently got an email from the CMP which stated that there is an 18 month backorder on Aguila .22. I just have to believe that the industry is taking a hard look at the situation and considering expansion.

In the meantime I've had to back off from rimfire. I refuse to pay the cost of a brick of Eley and the shipping on top of it. Make it worth my while and at least let me have half a case, five bricks. Damn shame I have to shoot .223, .308, and air rifle because there isn't rimfire to be had.

 

[frankinola]

the one place that will notify you when Eley is in stock and has kept the prices reasonable has been champion shooters:
http://www.championshooters.com/ind...mart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=185

select the 'notify' option on the item of interest.

Ellis, you are not by yourself. I have no interest in buying the cheap 22LR just to hear the gun go bang. Nobody can deny the fact that the vast majority of today's shooters are interested only in plinking at ranges inside 50 yards, usually much closer. But I buy only ammo that I can depend on to be accurate out to 100 yards. I will second the suggestion of frankinola. I just picked up a case of SK Jagd from Champion Shooters.

 

[Ellis1958]

One thing I want to make clear is that if you're into plinking with cheap ammo at close range, cool. It's just not what I'm into. Tearing out the x-ring on a A-23 at 50yd is more my thing.

Thanks frankinola and highstandard40 for the tip. Signed up for alerts for what I use.
