are 22's still worth it?

Check the rimfire ammo finds thread. Great resource.

+1.

Calguns is awesome.

I recently started shooting 22lr and enjoy it. I usually shoot 223 and 308 but was discouraged with the price/availability of ammo this year. I bought several 22lr rifles this year and having just as much fun as I was shooting the big guns.

Everyone needs at least 1 rimfire rifle and pistol... or 20 just ask defcon

Yes 22s are still worth it. I love my GSG 1911 and custom build 10/22. I'll be building my 3rd AR-22 (sold 2) sometimes during the holiday. This time it'll be a SPR with a 80% lower with everything I want on it.

i turned my .223 AR into a .22LR with a CMMG BCG kit. now my AR15 is no longer a safe queen

Definitely worth it. Ammo can be found, just not as easy as swinging by the local Wallyworld and picking up a few thousand rounds on the cheap. I've added 10k rounds to the stash in the last couple of months, average cost at $.06 per, shipping included.

Jailed a Ruger American Rimfire last week so I can dip into the pool of subsonic .22LR, which seems to be more available, and sometimes cheaper.

I was lucky enough to get a few boxes of Winchester 555 at Walmart last week. $24 a brick. They were loading up the cabinet while I was there. Anymore than that, forget it. The only reason I ever shot 22 was the Price. At 10-15 cents a round, you can keep it. Had the wife get 3 WWB 100ct 115gr 9mm for $23 a box. I have bought some ammo here and there, but have not been shooting in a year, and don't miss it. I have been hunting, and picked up another cheaper hobby. Saved me a ton of dough for sure.

Which Walmart was this? 3 Walmarts in my area have it at around $29. Even the Federal 100 value packs are more than $24 now.

He's still young. Sooner or later, I can see his collection of .22s growing bigger than mine. But, I do have to give him credit. Most of his are far cooler looking than most of mine.

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Definitely worth it. My 15-22 is the must shoot on every desert trip. Mags for it are getting easier to find, I just received a 1K case of M-22 today from Cabelas so ammo isnt an issue either.

[santamonica9]

dont buy it..... i dont need another person getting 22lr to compete with in LA - just kidding, I LOVE my 15-22 take it to every range trip

[ham]

.22 will come back on shelfs. i love my cz ultra lux!

[SB1964]

Get a .22 rifle. Watch the ammo finds regularly & be ready to buy.

[billmaykafer]

i would rather shoot my $.18 per round 7.62X54R than $.15 .22LR.. besides one 7.62X54R from my 1954.4 T53 is louder than a brick of .22LR fired at same time.
even can shoot my SKS cheaper (7.62X39) than AR15 .223

[Dinosaur Jr]

.22 is still available if you know where to look. Yes, it's more expensive now. It's still some of the cheapest ammunition available. A better value for practicing trigger pull and aim is difficult to find.
