This is depressing

[Jeff L]

I bought a box of this a couple of years ago at Big 5 for $18. I wish I bought more, a lot more.

Cabelas has them for about $30. There is a thread on it at the Deals section.

If I had that kind of foresight, id pick 6 lucky numbers.

[G21Shooter]

Don't be depressed that is a rip off price.

Cabelas has been getting lots of Blazers in lately.

I met a guy two years ago that told me every time he went to town/ big 5 he bought whatever brick was on sale. I never thought 22lr would have gotten so scarce.

but now I know and knowing is half the battle.

GOOOOO Joe!

['ol shooter]

I always bought every time it was on sale, that's why I still have about 8K in stock. I haven't been hoarding either, we shoot 500 or so every time we go shooting. That's some price on the Blazers, I bought a case last time it was on sale for $159 shipped from Dunn's. Wished I had bought 10 now.

just keep chippin away, couple boxes every few weeks. inventory comes in waves.

[bohoki]

i stocked up on the walmart bulk packs when they were like $15 but i only got about 15 bricks left

the remington and federal 550s have a few duds but any port in a storm

[dshooter]

I know how you feel. I bought a case of these for 152 otd at Turners 3 years ago. Dunns 160 shipped of federal 525.

They're all rip off prices!


My first 50ct Premium LR rimfire rounds was $.95, in the middle of the last century and stayed that way or less for 50yrs +.

In 2000 that same 50ct was even less@ $81.4 via a bulk pak

In 2005 that same 50ct was MORE THAN DOUBLE@ $1.81 via a bulk pak
WHY?

Legitimate vendors are at 30.00+ / brick?
Illegitimate opportunists are at whatever the traffic will bear! $80.00

Merged manufacturers, fewer vendors a desperate/paniced consumer = instant and perhaps permanent pain!

It's all BS and manipulation folks!
USURY!!!!!!

[obpwankel]

Got me a brick, thanks op!

[shadow65]

I just saw Federal 550 36 gr for $110!

+1 With a little time and effort I am able to get on average 1,500 rounds of reasonably priced .22 lr a week, and it adds up.

Just keep it flowing in and pretty soon you won't be worrying about having enough to shoot.

[AR22]

Yep, crooks and fools meet at those prices..Takes both but it does happen.

I have never and will never pay more than retail price for ammo..I would stop shooting before I paid 100.00 for a Brick of .22, or anywhere over 30.00 for that fact....I may pay over 30.00 someday. But that is not the current pricing for a brick is right at 25.00. Thats what I will pay. Pick up .22 ammo all the time at Walmart and I do not camp out everyday either..

I have some older .22 and you would be amazed at what I paid for it. But 5.00 also got ya 5 or 6 gallons of gasoline back then too..
