I got lucky at Academy this morning!

[rugerla1]

Stopped in to see if ammo had came in but it had not. But they had 3 boxes of 7.62x51 at $19.99 per box so I got one. Went back to the gun counter and they received a truck but hadn't opened anything. So I hung out for about 30 minutes while he went through them to see if they had any Ruger 10-22's. I've been wanting one for my daughter and always miss the shipments. Sure enough!!! $199 with wood stock, which is what she wanted. Can't wait to surprise her tonight!!

LOL That was freakin hilarious when I read and caught what you meant!!

[Randall53]

Awesome! What kind of ammo did she have for trade? LOL..

Looks like things might be loosening up somewhat.  I walked in to a Walmart in Dover, Delaware yesterday and their ammo shelves were bare as usual.  Both of their long gun carousels were full.  Most I have seen anywhere in a long time.  Walked out with a stainless Ruger 10-22 for $254 OTD. No sales tax and no background check fee.  No, I don't want to live here; we just visit on business a couple of times a year. Looks like things might be loosening up somewhat.

Glad you were able to pick one up too. I don't know what all else was on their truck this morning but they have some AR's too.

I don't remember, when it was all over, I was laying there with a dumb look on my face and she'd disappeared, "Dangit, used again!" :)

Congrats on the 10/22.  The last one i saw had much higher price.

I managed to grab a stainless 10/22 takedown from Whittaker's for $295 last week:)

[Guest Nunya]

Walmart in Johnson City had several AR's and a MP15-22 in stock earlier today.  The trend is starting turn it seems.  I honestly hope the people who bought these things up for resale get stuck with them...

I've been waiting on the special edition takedown that has the threaded barrel.  Haven't been able to find one yet :(  I did see that Whittakers post though.  They had something like 60 or 80 takedowns!  That's just nuts!

They will need to pay that credit card payment soon, I will not be helping them pay it.

guns are coming back in the stores.  but ammo is not.  they gun control nuts know they can not stop gun so they are messing up the ammo and mags.

[rugerla1]

Wow, that's crazy.

[graycrait]

Well, just wanted y'all to know. I sat her down on the couch last night and told her how proud I was of her for making honor roll all year and got her a surprise. She covered her eyes as I put the box on her lap. When she opened the box her jaw dropped and eyes got huge and a huge grin followed :) She pulled it out, looked inside the action, finger above the trigger(So proud I didn't have to remind her!) and aimed toward the ceiling checking out the view down the sights. I told her if she takes care of it, she will be able to pass it on to her kids. Proud moment for me as a father!

So besides Ruger factory mags, what are good quality mags I can get(when in stock, I know)? I see Butler Creek a lot, any others to look for or to avoid?

Do yourself a favor, just try to find a few Ruger brand round (square) 10-round magazine, and pick up a Alangator TriMag. Better and more dependable than any other 10/22 magazine on the market.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I planned on getting a couple extra Ruger 10 rounders regardless, but didn't know if anything else came close.
