I call ********. When you are allowed to buy 3 box max and you take other people to buy for you, you are robbing the next guy in line. In fact, last time I bought a box there were two boxes left and I let the guy behind me buy the other. That my friends is is called a gentleman. I could have bought them all, but the guy behind might not be able to shoot due to my greed. Say what you want but I was taught respect for my fellow sportsman.
DUDE! 55 friggin dollars for 500!!!
I've been watching closely online and have come up with 22s consistently for around $30/500. To be honest, I had no great need to buy any for myself. I had 3 - 4k rounds from jumping on deals in years past and I rarely shoot more than 50 - 100 rounds at shooting sessions several times a year (because I usually take multiple calibers of firearms...so I might shoot 200 - 300 rounds total at a time). However, I have sold some friends a couple hundred rounds out of my stash a few times plus I split some ammo that I was able to catch in stock with them. My luck has primarily been with Cabelas for 22, although a while back I scored some from Sportsman's Guide. The last I bought was 325 rounds delivered to my home for 23.99. The previous deal was 1000 rounds for 59.99 including delivery. The entire last batch was sold at my cost to a good friend who never owned a handgun until just before Oct 1 last year. He bought a 1911-22 and a 9mm Sig. He was finding 9mm for the Sig online and elsewhere...but was pulling the trigger late on the 22 cal deals I kept emailing him about, so just bought it for him and let him reimburse me. The point is, it's out there if you can be patient and persistent
