Are you Willing to Pay?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<I'd pay a few bucks over retail

unfortunately, retail is going stay right where its at, if not go up. I paid 32.99 for a federal bulk of 550 in Claremore 1 month ago...they had 25 cases of it (8 bulks to a case). they had less than 2 cases left, so it's not like it's just stitting there getting stale. ppl are buying. point. in. fact.

I bought a Ruger MKIII the same day and had to practically beg to buy 2 bulks (store policy was 1 bulk per customer).

.22 ammo is the worst lately for me since its the only one we CAN'T reload. That limits my sources.
With reloading you can always substitute a different powder/bullet if one is in short supply

My daughter has been shooting a 22 bolt action rifle the last few years. She enjoy's it and usually goes through 60 or 70 rounds.. not to big of a deal. I took her out for the first time this year shooting about a month ago. I let her for the first time try a berretta 9mm and an AR 15. She loved them both and has a ramped up interest again in shooting.... it's time for a semi 22 for her.. but even if I trade for one... I can't seem to find 22 for her to shoot through one. I reload myself.. so at this point.. Id be better off letting her shoot something in 9mm. We are down to about 250 rounds of 22. If I were to get her a semi auto 22... that would just make it a short trip for her out to the field where we go to shoot.
I tried doing what some of the others are doing...and watch walmart online. I found a store that supposedly had a limited supply of 22 on hand. But when I got to the store around 3:00 pm.. I didn't see any. Only 3 boxes of .40 s and w. I asked the clerk... he just looked at me like... Dude.... gotta be here early for the 22. Anyways...
I'd pay a little over retail.. but not much more. I'm divorced with just the one daughter. I would like to keep her interest in shooting going... guess I'll just have to do it with 9 for now..

There is a QT station across town offering 3.79 a gallon gas and a walmart offering 3.19 a gallon. Lets assume the walmart rand out. Applying the economics I've learned here I guess I'll go to the QT station and let him know that he is wrong and I'm going get really butt hurt about his pricing if he doesnt lower his prices right now. Then I'm going to kick and scream and call him mean.

Someone forgot to allow a vote for "I'd pay whatever I had to if I really had to have it"
If I was completely out and wanted to go shoot today. I'd prob just pay the d#*n premium and go have fun. Pay to play.

suck it up, or pay what it takes to ride.

None of the above.

If I can't buy it I'll find something else to do.
But to be honest I keep a stash just for these times.

For anyone who didn't plan ahead you might consider a pellet gun.
But you better hurry, now that I said it on the internet the gougers will be buying up all this inventory soon to resell at inflated prices.

I just paid $20 for winchester 555 packs today, I won't pay over $30 each unless the overage is shipping
