There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

Cabelas in Ft Worth had more today than I've seen in a long time.. 22 mag too, though I didn't see what it was selling for.
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

I see plenty most places I go not sure why people still make a fuss about it. I watched a guy checkout of the Buda store last week with a cart full of 22 RF ammo. I heard the lady at the register as I was leaving tell him 700+ dollars

Academy in Garland has it every single time I go in there now. Last few times they even had the Remington 500 or 525 packs for around $28. The demand has no doubt slowed but its only a matter of time before it vanishes again. History repeats its self.
I don't shoot 22's much so a couple of bricks would last me a life time. If I wanted to stock pile I could have bought a pallet or so the last few months as often as I have been seeing it on the shelves. Its pretty much just the CCI stuff that is in short supply.

I really should have titled it different. What it should have said is, Finally found some .22's at WalMart. I have been able to find some .22's here and there, but not for as cheap as Walmart sells them. The Stingers were $6.50 a box of 50 and the Mini Mags were $7 something for 100. The 525 rnd boxes of the Remington Golden Bullets were about $27 each.

Kevin, Are the snakes that bad down on the lake this year? Nah, I use a 12 ga on those. I have actually picked up more .22's since this pic, I am up to 500 Stingers and 600 mini mag. I will quit at 1,000 of each. I will continue to buy more as we shoot them after that as long as they are available, but I want 1,000 of each stocked up in case we have that shortage bs again. Doing the same thing with a couple of other calibers.

Was in Academy on Forest Yesterday, they had alot of .22's but only had a few boxes of Mini mag and no stingers. Had a bunch of ELEY, Winchester SuperX and Browning. Some other brands I'm not familiar with too. The most .22's I have seen in a while.

Our local Academy has a good stock of .22lr including the Remington 1400 round buckets. Picked one up, but I should be good to go for a long time.

Ace Hardware Sanger Texas had 22's and 22 magnums, big supply. East side of I35 on the service road, coming from Dallas take the first exit ( Keaton Rd I think) and stay on the service road. dk

Yeah I think the shortages is pretty much over. I listed some of it on here and a few boards the other day, never got so much as a bite. First time I haven't sold .22LR when I listed it in years. No problem, went back onto the pile.
