The guns may get very cheap with out a source of ammo. The only 300 win mags I am finding are $63 a box Fusion. .223 unheard of, .22 all sold out. Plenty of shotgun shells though.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

This sight is JUST AS BAD as going in to my local gun shop.
 
I thought I was done buying rifles and optics.
 
I came in here looking for confirmation of what my local guy was trying to sell me for a scope for my FNAR... and now after a few threads about the new 22lrs coming out... I find myself doing all kinds of research and planning buying a 22lr.  It was on here that I first saw the 22lr from Colt.
 
Not only that, after reading all the info on red dots and ACOGS in here I have 2 or 3 optics in mind for my own 22lr and an optic to put on a 22lr for my buddy that is having his 40th birthday.
 
Yesterday I took the FNAR to the range and ended up with this hit pattern at 150 yards
My eyes SUCK, I simply can't see that far well even with a 4-12x42 scope, so now after reading all about scopes on here I am now considering something with more magnification power.
 
It hasn't cost me anything just yet.... but I am on the cusp of spending $1,000+ on 22lr rifles, a couple hundred on two short range sights, and who knows how much on a scope with more magnification.
 
The heck with Obama, THIS SITE is bad for my financial situation.
 
As you can probably tell, it takes me quite a bit of time to buy something, but when I do it is usually pretty well thought out.

Seems that most of the married guys hide the purchase for as long as possible. 
 
If you can safely slip it into the collection unnoticed...go for it! You only live once,
why not buy the things that make you happy? Big Grin

My technique Bud is to take an empty hard case out of the house on the pretext of showing a gun to a friend.  Then when I bring it back with a new gun no one is wiser.  Course tryin' to hoard the money unseen in the first place is a different trick!

I picked up some "sighting in new scope" rounds in .300WM.  They were the "reduced recoil" variety, for $21.99!  Should have gotten 2 or 3 boxes.  I think they messed up!
take em!

I'd have to agree!  Better go back and get more while you can.  Thats a great price especially for mags.
