Now you tell me. I called up about 9am and they said they still had a large stock of 100 count 9mm ammo, but when I got there at 11am it was long gone. I told one of the sales people about this and was told, "We had no way to expect that people would buy it all out so fast. We have more on the way for Saturday. I say screw them. It's a 100 mile round trip for me and I get told so sorry?
yeah, I've been working nearby and stopped in there today. Best price was 600 rnds 40 cal for $240. Stuff on the shelves was priced VERY high. Gun prices were also very high. They wanted $420 for the same Ruger MKIII I bought for $320 in Vandallia.
Miami Valley shooting range in Springfield, formerly Longenhorner, has become my favorite refuge for winter shooting. Friend and I celebrated my birthday there and for the cost of one lane for two people and two full size targets ($22) we shot for almost 2 hours and had a blast. Plus I like the decor of the inside. I was having a lot of fun with the new MKIII .22 pistol doing fast head shots Every time we go there the place is almost empty so I hope it stays open for next winter when the frozen death returns and using the back yard isn't an option.
You payed $470 and you're calling them high? Never owned a CZ but they ran a lot less than that just a few months ago. Well, everything ran less a few months ago but I recall seeing CZ's in the $200's last fall.
Swing, at this point I'd go with the one I could find and costs the least. With the nice weather I decided to pull out the M44 and fire off some rounds at 100+ yards. I couldn't help but think about the recent gun law in New York and the desires of antis to ban certain weapons. It all makes no sense to an experienced shooter and responsible owner. Why can't they see that banning guns for features or the way they look is like banning cars because they are crashed more often and have distracting features in them or bright colors? Oh well, if you don't enjoy my musings I hope you enjoy the firing of an old favorite. :egrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX0F-wzXPWA
My shooting friend (Lisa) has a M&P22. Really fun little gun and lead me to purchase a Mark III for my own cheap shooter. Haven't shot it a bunch but so far I really like it. Want to change out the front sight and Lisa wants to do the same on her M&P. May try painting the front site first but I thing a fiber optic will be the ultimate choice.
Today was gun art day. Williams double barrel "wall hanger" due to demascus barrels. Too old and pitted to ever be used again but cleaned up it will make for a great show piece in the man cave.
Picked this up today Funny part is I was seeing .22LR ammo almost everywhere before I got it but today everyone was sold out. My last stop was at a Walmart in Springfield and of course no .22LR ammo at all! But they had one Federal 9mm box with 100 rounds and about 10 (50 count) 9mm boxes. Of course they have a two box limit per customer so I got one of each. I got home and it took an hour to disassemble, clean and reassemble the MK3 before firing it. But it seemed to do well for the 30 rounds I did get thru it.
