I'm just making a general comment and it is not specific to Ruger although it does affect them. I've been a gun nut for a long time but I haven't bought a rifle for the last couple years purely due to the ammo and reloading components shortages. Nor have I been able to enjoy taking my kids out to shoot for the same reasons. Myself as well as many of my friends don't shoot our rim fires because it's such a hassle to replace the ammo. My favorite 22-250 factory ammo by Hornady I haven't seen on a store shelf in over two years. I would really like to buy a new Ruger 77 Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmore, but have any of you tried to find 6.5 bullets the last year or two? So no point in buying what I can't shoot. Heck I never thought I'd do this, but I've all but hung up my guns and have been wearing out my fishing poles. It keeps me out doors without all the hassle...and this from a guy that rarely thought about anything other than hunting and shooting for the last 40 years.
