I was at a SW yesterday about 10am. The clerk had 3 bricks of different types of 22LR that he was putting on the shelf for $23.99 each. My brother grabbed one, I took one and another customer grabbed the other before the clerk could walk away. It doesn't sit long.
It sure doesn't. That will eventually get better. When I was at my LGS and they had a bunch of the federal automatch on the shelves. They asked If I needed any and I said, no I'll let them sit for a day so someone else that really needs them has a chance to buy them. I went in a day later and they still had about 10 bricks left and I bought 1 box since my 10-22 and Ruger MK1 and MKII pistols love them... I rarely shoot my 22's, as I find them extremely boring. Shot dump truck loads of 22lr as a kid. Big kid guns are more appealing now days...
