Re: For Real?
I would guess based on the price, they are pretty old. I did order some CCI's recently that are $10.99 for 20 rounds from CCI direct. OUCH. I know Federal makes them too thank goodness. I just hope for the future that they will always be available.
Thanks Dave.
Thanks Dave.

Re: For Real?
I didn't get a photograph, but I cleaned out my pantry / storage area and opened an ammo can marked .22. Inside I had a different sized box of Winchester .22lr shot shells with a generic price tag of $10.95 on it. I want to say there were 50 in the box. I know, I should have taken the time to gotten a photograph. Perhaps soon. I was on a mission of another sort.

Understood Dave. That price suggests that maybe winchester still makes them. Hope so!daytime dave wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 2:47 pmI didn't get a photograph, but I cleaned out my pantry / storage area and opened an ammo can marked .22.

Re: For Real?
That's awesome Mark. Congratulations on a nice set of stocks. Did you get any ammunition?
Here are some shots of the more modern Winchesters I recently found.

Re: For Real?
Thank you Dave. Yes, I ordered a couple boxes from CCI which are due to arrive this Friday
Also found one box locally for $1.00 more than the other two
No shipping charge when I can find them locally though.
Will be on the lookout for some Winchesters.

Re: For Real?
Good luck Mark. Let us (me) know when you shoot it. I plan to pattern and distance check mine in the Spring so I can safely shoot it in my barn if need be. I also don't want to take out any plants at too close a range.

Re: For Real?
My brother who I don't see often, lives about 1/2 hour south of me in a rural area. He knew I had gotten the Garden Gun and invited me down to try it out on his property. Needless to say, I went!
The gun performed as I expected it to. I was surprised at how relatively quiet it was. Not really much, if any louder than my Sheridan Pump pellet rifle.
The patterning of the shot was such that I know it will live up to the duties it was designed for.
Didn't know he had a Golden Boy .22 WMR in perfect condition. We enjoyed shooting it as well! All in all, a good afternoon.
