Saw a ton at Scheels this weekend. Didn't buy any. It's obvious they intentionally fucked us over keeping it from the shelves and blaming it on neckbeards. Now I don't need any and won't buy it until they are giving it away. They gambled and lost. Tough shit for them.

Never understood the Walmart benchmark for .22 I've never had an issue buying .22 Ever. The internet is a wonderful thing. I did overpay ($0.12rnd) for some CCI Segmented Subsonic HPs a while ago, but most of my online purchases were around $0.06/rnd. Including CCI SV and CCI Mini Mags. |

WM 20 minutes south of us said they"d not had any for 5-6 months(truthful?). Went to the Academy store 20 minutes west of us and they had Federal Auto Match 325rnd boxes behind the counter. Would say atleast couple hundred. Asked clerk if there was a limit he stated 500 rounds per person...so you get one box. Laughed inside and said thank you and left. One stinking box
 Would of been fine with 2-3 boxes just to make the trip worth it.

Sometimes you get an extra couple of hours and want to take your kids to the range and just want to grab some ammo and targets and head out quick. That's a very valid point. I think .22 really shines outdoors, just casually plinking. One of my favorite things to do in life. Period. I usually only go to the range to sight in my .22s, otherwise I save the ammo for when I get a chance to plink on land. ...when I do, I go batshit crazy with it. Especially supressed. I went to my buddy's lakehouse a few months ago. I ended up hanging out with his 11 year old more than him. That boy loved shooting. We went through close to 2k in a day. But I guess you're right. If you're a more causal shooter that has that opportunity regularly, it's much nicer to be able to grab a box. My .22 life is so feast and famine I must remain stacked deep. |

All this last year it's been brass-cased .223 for around 6 bucks a box, prices have already tanked there, but I believe it could even go a little lower, cheaper obviously in bulk but I don't shoot a whole lot of .223. I may shoot more though since AR prices have also crashed to new lows, sub-400 bucks is a dang fine price for a new AR.  Where might one find these sub $400 ARs ? On topic I've seen plenty of 22LR at every Walmart and Academy I've been to. Cheap enough to buy and shoot, not priced to stack... $0.03 per round would be nice. |

Your vision sucks then. $18 is too damn high . I was $12.50 per 550 bulk pack when shit started getting high. Fortunately for me my 22 larder was well stocked. Ill start buying at $18 but I absolutely believe the price will go lower. I can see myself buying another 150,000 rounds. I used to buy 4 cartons everytime I went grocery shopping. |

I could swear those 500 plus round bricks were like $14 to $18 back in like 2011 or 2012. Does that seem familiar price-wise for anyone here?

I have a friend that works at a firearms & ammunition distributor. During all the gun rushes when .22lr prices were going through the roof and there were severe shortages of it, this friend would post pictures from work showing no shortages whatsoever and he said ammo prices went up with inflation and not the sudden demand, so that likely means all the individual retailers were probably paying the same price they always have been, but they were just jacking up prices to take advantage of the political climate.
So there's plenty of .22LR now, but there always has been. |

I haven't even seen one round of rat shot much less any other .22 in a Walmart since Sandy Hook. This.

Dicks has had the 325rd Automatch for $25 the last couple times I was in there. I've never seen any at Gander Mtn. Sportsmans is hit-or-miss on bulk stuff (100rd + packs), but they always have expensive match stuff. LGS's still want $0.15/rd

All walmarts aren't created equal. I haven't seen .22lr ammo at any local walmart in years. Gander Mountain has started having it on the regular, with 7 cents per round being the cheapest. I've been buying at the price for the last year or so. I don't feel bad about it.. and I'll be thrilled if it goes back down to the pre-sandy hook prices.  Same here. My local Walmart here in West Virgina, of all places, never has an rimfire and hasn't in years. |
