No rimfire limits at Cabelas

[CT_Shooter]

Rimfire ammo of all flavors is available at Cabelas today without any limitations on quantity.

Three years ago, my first new firearm was a Henry H001. I had just gotten my pistol permit in CT and looked forward to my new and exciting shooting hobby. It was a huge shock for me to learn that there wasn't any ammo on the shelf the day I bought it. I had a new gun, but there was no ammo.

As a result, because of its scarcity, I began to buy as much .22 ammo as was allowed whenever I found it, which wasn't often and usually had a maximum allowed purchase of three boxes. I became a careful hunter of .22 ammo. I now have more of it than I'll be able to shoot in a very long time.

I'm glad the drought is over; at least for now.

It appears that you are correct, from what I have seen in my area there is no shortage for now.

no limits showing at BASS .... prior to the "shortage" we stocked up with 555 round Winchester® Bulk Pack Rimfire Ammo .... we still have several boxes but will probably start rebuilding our inventory

It sure is good to see more 22 LR on the shelves again. While I never came even close to running out, I did have to work on it to keep my inventory up. I never in a million years thought it would take 4 years for things to get back to within spitting distance of "normal."

That is great news. In my area (North Dallas) 22LR ammo has been plentiful. Recently there is always a selection (50 round and 100 round boxes) but not always bulk packs on the shelf.

The drought caused the enrollment in Appleseed classes that I help teach to dry up to the point where we lost the gunrange that we taught at due to low enrollment. The range owner let the Appleseed crew take over the 25 yard range for an entire weekend for only $60 per shooter. When there were more instructors than students for a few months in a row he asked that we no longer schedule classes there. The opportunity cost for him became too great as he could have group classes that brought in over $250 per hour on that shooting bay.

Hopefully we can get enrolllments back up and approach the range owner again.

22LR at normal prices can be had at the gun shops here in the Shenandoah Valley, but it is still scarce at the local Walmart. I think the 22LR drought will be officially over when you see it routinely at the Walmarts....

I have a significant shortage in my area. We don't even have a Cabelas.

But I have other outlets for 22LR, (my required cal).

I was hoarding .22LR ammo about four years before it became harder to find and continued to do so during the so called shortage. If I never buy another round and live another 50 years I will not run out of ammo.

For the last 2 yrs there has no problem with getting 22 lrs or 22 mags in my part of Tx . Only price was too high .

I'm like sir henry. I"ll never run out but they are still scarce in my area.
