This .22LR shortage is starting to piss me off.

[Rapier46]

Wholesale sports in calgary removed the 22lr section. It was entity for so long. I guess they filled that spot with items that are in stock.

All the hype about a shortage is pissing me off. I have enough for the next few years, but I was at Wally World and they had 525s . I felt like I need to buy as they are rare. I don't shoot these and did not need them. I passed. When shells are again plentiful I will restock my stash of mini mags and Yellowjackets. There are still lots of sk+ ammo so I am set. My long winded point is if you don't need it pass. That way the guy that shoots 500-1000 rds a year will still have something to shoot. JMHO

I ordered mine before the prices skyrocketed still have to check the cc statement, but I think I should be good
If it makes you feel any better our only local gun shop is charging 110 for buckets now

There's no question regarding shortages. It's a fact - not hype. Just because you're "set" doesn't mean others are.

Was just talking to my father in law, he said Bass Pro in Vaughn had those "half bricks" available. 2-300 round etc.

 

[little_airwolf]

No sale sports in Calgary has over 35 bricks of thunderduds
Left them

They didn't have a god damn thing when I was there on Friday! I even asked a dude at the hunting counter

They had no 22LR in that store on Wednesday.

I am not saying there is no shortage, but the hype is making people buy that do not need anything. I could have bought all 5 bricks at Walmart but left them.

He was there today.

If there's no shortage then why can't anyone find any? And why are thousand(possibly millions) saying there is a shortage

Repeat " I am not saying there is no shortage". Yes we are having a hard time getting shells. It does not help to buy all you see even if you have cases.

Some serious price gouging going on in the ee for .22 ammo.. Phuking ridiculous.

Another one wanting $60 for a box of Winchester 555, available at my local Walmart this week for $24.97 + tax

Ok gotcha.

I really really want some 22. When I find some and it's overpriced and they're trying to screw the gun owners, I won't buy ####.

Ask if he'll price match?

 

[Redblack]

Wow those prices on the EE are crazy but I'm sure there are some desperate enough to buy.

Saw that.

Same guy wants $55 for a brick of Winny Dynapoints.

But people are paying. One seller had several boxes of the Federal 525 bulk pack for about $45/box. Now SPF.

Whether he got asking of took a lower offer I have no idea.

 

[little buster]

Just sold a single 22 bullet for 8$ loving this "shortage"

 

[yohann160]

M22 is in stock at Cabelas.ca, free shipping discount code for orders over 99$ is 99shipfree. I just bought 2 cases of 1000. Giggles

The bill is $167.98 GST included. 41.99$ per 500 everything included or 8 cents per round.

 

[little_airwolf]

Not bad. If I did my math right thats about $9 a box for tax and shipping.
