BUY ATK stock. They own the .22LR market.
I saw a similar sign here in northern Arizona the other day. I can’t remember which store it was.
I don’t care for Dicks Sporting Goods since they caved to the anti-scary looking gun crowd, but they recently had Remington .22s for $25/brick here in central IN. One per day per customer. Since I was working close, I hit it 3 days in a row
I am proud to say that I will never have to buy .22 ammo again for as long as I live. Bought it about 10 years ago and my brain seems to think @ > 7 bucks a brick.
Local WM in central PA finally had some boxes of CCI x100 the other day @ $7.50 per.
$85 per 500? I can understand why they have 22lr.
The local Walmart has been getting a shipment almost once a week now. $24.97 for Winchester 555 packs.
$85 a brick is really expensive. Before things went nuts I remember paying around $20 and would toss a couple in the cart every time I went to Cabelas. I managed to put back nearly 10,000 rounds that way.
Just early last week in Walmart (Rio Rancho, NM) they had a 1,000-round box of Winchester M*22 (I now have 500 of those rounds) for $52.00+ tax, and they had at least 20 250-round boxes of Remington .22lr hollowpoints, and at least 20 325-round boxes of Federal .22lr. And it was there past 10 AM.
I talked to the normal counter guy, and he said it was coming in much more regularly.
They have a 3-box limit on ammo. I bought the 1,000 rounds and then got a box of hollowpoints for a buddy. That 250-round box was $12.00 with tax. I sold the other half of the 1,000 rounds to another buddy. At cost. I'm out to rip anyone off.
They pawn shop in your story however, is.
Once inside, I was informed that they had run out of .22 ammunition the day before.
...
At which point they should have taken down the sign.
