I got a H&R handi in 35 whelen for $150 at Dicks last year. Was told ammo was impossible to get. Went right up to Gander and bought a box, found dies, but was surprosied how few .35 bullets were around. That thing was on my bucket list. 2 year before I got a .308 with scope for $140 there. Decent clerk, just going on what ammo they inventoreied.
I stopped s fellow buying 30-30 bullets, $15. for a hundred. He thought he found a deal on cartridges.

I don't like trigger locks, but fully understand.
