.22 LR newbie - Give me a chance veteran hoarders!

[TrexTracker]

I've always wanted a Ruger 10/22 to go with my SKS and finally put one in jail at Turner's. I also stocked up on 10/22 mags at Turner's.

Now all I need is... .22LR AMMOS! Mother of pearls it is near impossible to get a stash. I will be glued to Calguns to get a Federal Ammo Can of .22lr at a decent price.

Hoarders and flippers, give this newbie a chance.

Turners will usually scare up some .22LR for you if you bought a .22 rifle from them. Ask them.

Field Time Target and Training also has .22LR ammo for its shooters in reasonable quantities at fairly OK cost.

This madness will end soon enough.

As a veteran hoarder, I'm insulted that you would blame my kind. I and my kind already had more than enough .22lr BEFORE this perceived shortage started. Since this latest shortage began, I have not bought a single round and have given thousands of rounds away. It's the unprepared non hoarders and new shooters who are to blame for the current scarcity. As any good hoarder knows, this is not the right time to add to one's stash. In fact, right now, I don't even waste my time trying to find .22lr to buy. Anyway, get your facts straight and blame the right groups of people. It is YOUR KIND that is causing the problems for us veteran hoarders. So, do me a favor and get all the unprepared shooters and newbies to stop looking for .22lr so that the price and stock will return to normal and I can add another 5-10 cases (25,000-50,000 rounds) to my stash so that I'm able to give more away during the next perceived shortage.

Similarly - I don't live near a Walmart that sell ammo - so everytime I drive by one that does and I have a little time to spare I stop and check and pick up some .22lr if they have it.

Back in Nov. before the current run there was a decent deal so I bought 20k - always good to have extra in stock. I run through about 500-1k each time I take 2-3 people out for a first time range trip.

Buy it cheap and stack it deep.

I sold a .22lr to a guy in Dec. threw in 150 rounds so he could take it out to the range.

Decent price....Either pay the market rate or stop
your whinning.

Blame all the PANIC BUYERS.
The ones who where never interested in the sport to
begin with.
The same ones who vote Dem across the board.
How did you vote NOOB?

Plan A-pay the going rate, Plan-B wait.

Stop whining OP. I and others were smart enough to stock up.

Come on you hoarders-
Sell me your home that you purchased in 1982 for what you paid for it in 1982.

Stop charging the current value for the item.

It stinks that ammo is higher priced now than MSRP and it is the same price more or less than it was in 2009 after the election panic.

But at the end of the day it is still cheap to shoot a .22 LR.

500 rounds for $50-$75 stinks but still way less than buying 500 rounds of any center fire.

Trextracker-
If you can provide me with copies of the emails you have sent to politicians in the past three months on all of the new proposed gun ban legislation, I will send you 150 rounds for the cost of postage.

In other words- if you can show me how you have been supporting the cause, I will give you some ammo.

Sorry folks- offer to OP only.

it is tough right now, but best bet is to find out when your LGS gets there ammo in stock & wait in line. or make friends with your LGS employee and see if he can stash you a extra box.

Bummer...

I recently picked up a 10/22 as well (my first .22LR firearm) and it's been fun trying to find ammo for it. I have a decent stash of ammo for the calibers I owned prior to the "panic" but my shortcoming was not stocking up on calibers I knew I would own at some point (ie: .22LR and .308)

Normally I side with those that prepare for the unexpected, but I think now more than ever we should be welcoming new shooters and new younger guys into the 2nd amend fight not telling them to sit n spin

I agree. I've already GIVEN thousands of rounds to new shooters since the current shortage started. However, the OP came here pointing fingers instead of asking for help. His attitude towards those who could have helped him is partially to blame for his current predicament.
