Has anyone noticed that 10 packs of 50 .22 are cheaper, than 1 pack of 500?
And why does CTC sell 500 .22 for $18, while Walmart for only $12? I knew Walmart was a tad cheaper overall but liked an idea of buying Canadian, but when it comes to buying the same US made stuff, 1.5 times cheaper is certainly better... Not that I will ever buy from them...:confused:
 
Nobody makes 22 ammo in Canada, except maybe SNC, but they only sell to the DND. Wal-Mart is the largest retailer of guns and ammo in North America, plus they only make 15% markup. Volume is there business.
 
Great to shop at Walmart, had them ask me if I was using my .22 ammo in a rifle or handgun, if you say handgun they refuse sale. I said 1/2 a box in the rifle and 1/2 a box in a pistol, clerk gave me a look of incomprehension and sold me the ammo.

Good line! I would have just said "need to know basis, and you don't need to know"
Or if i was feeling extra fiesty, I might have said "Sawed off rifle"
 
Canadian Tire... a real smart bunch!
Not so long ago, I stop at the nearest CT to get some Federal Lightning. They didn't have any brick... So I decided to take the remaining 50rds box on the shelve. Was I in for a surprise!

Got to the cash register, $16.99 per box! I told them that this is the price for the 500rds brick... the cashier calls in the store manager who confirms the price... $16.99 per 50 :eek: this is high velocity stuff he tells me, it's more expensive... I just shook my head and walked away.

DO NOT SHOP AT CANADIAN TIRE.....thought id get that out. i have never, ever walked out of that store happy. ammo, car repairs, underwear...dosnt matter.
 
I prefer my local gun shop who stocks good acturate ammo .
It may cost a little more but the product is worth it .
And giving him the bussiness can't hurt , remember when you needed your gun fixed ?
Wallyworld and cr@ppy tire didn't help you with that did they .
 
canadian tire IDed me for a paintball hopper... because its against thier policy to sell paintball guns and related items to those under 18 yrs of age.
i was like, "ya, so your telling me i cant buy this plastic tube, but i can go a coulple ils over and buy a chainsaw, ax, exacto knife etc." the lady was like "sorry, its store policy"
at the time i was 17
 
I already went there twice to return a 3/4" to 1/2" wrench adapters LOL
They just break when I apply force...
