Price increases I can live with. The supply is the killer. I’d pay more for some damn nosler components
I'm on a work related trip to Illinois right now and I have stopped in to a couple sporting goods stores, a gun shop and a Walmart. In most cases, there is little or no ammo on the shelves (I am not kidding); colleagues have told me of prices in the US for powder of $200/lb. Compared to Canadian dealers, gun prices for most guns are the same in US dollars as ours in Canadian dollars or about 25% higher than Canada with the exchange. So are accessories like scopes.
It's a #### show.
Omne ferrum ignitum malleo!
I look at the increase in prices and shortages as another form of Gun CONTROL......
Honestly we all know it is BS the cost of these components just like the cost of fuel at the pumps. Thankfully some of us did hoard. An example, when our dollar was at par and even slightly above, that is when I spent my money on barrels. I have enough Bartleins that I may not be able to use them up.
When I see a store has stock in that I may need I grab 1 or 2 of this or that. I may not need it but it is there. If not for me, a buddy.
My house is PROTECTED by the good LORD and a GUN
I read all of these posts reluctantly, but do appreciate PR's transparency, as someone else pointed out. Like most people (I suspect?) I picture myself being able to afford a certain $ amount-per-month to support my various hobbies, AFTER the bills are paid. In my own plan, I try to allocate a certain part of that going towards a new gun/scope at some point in the year, or perhaps an upgrade to an existing one. Sort of a 3-tier priority. With escalating prices, the "new gun/upgrade" is the first to go if things continue the way they are, then down the list..
Difficult to imagine being priced-out of the sport, but I can't help but feel the worst is yet to come. As it stands, I own at least one rifle that rarely see the light of day due to ammo costs, but I now have dies/brass/powder/projectiles to hopefully address that over the winter.
The temptation is always there to think of this through the lens of your own situation, but as someone else mentioned, this can't be good for retailers/distributors either.
In the coming days, I'll be taking a very critical look at the heap of ammo/reloading components in the lock-up, and contemplate a plan that might take me well into 2023.
