Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Will the 22LR frenzy every end?

[Deleted member 995608]

I have completely avoiding shoot my 10-22 or AR22 for the last year simply because of the 22LR shortage. Will ithe hoarding ever end?

I invested a boat load in center fire pistol, rifle and reloading component several years back before that frenzy hit. I never once thought that 22LR would become the "must" round to hoard up.

I'm blown away that some guys on the gun forums I read are bragging about having 20k plus rounds of 22LR and are still seeking more inventory. To each is their own I guess. After all, I have a hefty supply myself but I certainley don't have 20k rounds of ammo.....or do I???!

At this point, it seems that you have to be at the right place at the right time. I've had the itch to get a Henry in .22, and the shop I visit said he has some on reserve just for arms sales so customers can go have fun. I was at a Dicks over the weekend, and while they had nothing, their policy was posted limiting quantities, etc.

I bought some in Sevierville Tennessee at Smoky Mtn. Knife and Buds Guns a week ago. Still a stalemate here. I did buy a couple of boxes at Arwoods in Corsicana about a month ago. Walmart says they get some in but people are lined up and they sell out immediately. I have had some of their employees offer to sell to me, just double the price. I see them ar flea markets and gun shows, again with jacked up prices. Looks like the problem is not supply but the greed for the dollar. b g

There is plenty of 22 LR for sale online if you don't mind spending 10 cents per round...

Buying online not an option for some in commie cities.

I loved "the Parkway" in TN. Wish I were there now.

That's the problem....ammo flippers. I hear people bragging about it all the time. But hey, that's Capitalism right? Hopefully, it will settle down at some point.

It's the new gun control, can't afford to shoot 'em.

I havent purchased 22lr in probably over a decade!
Having said that, I used to buy it by the brick whenever I saw it cheap (.89 a box)
When/if I run out I'll end up buying it for these assinine prices, but not until then.

I think you meant "Can't find to shoot".
