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.

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!
BTW, just got home with my new GG about an hour ago...yay!

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.

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.

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.

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.
