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've figured out some tricks...
Share tricks or ammo?Wanna share some for a fellow HAM?
Those ones at Ferrara are 3.95 for a 50 round box.

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.
