John, that was an exceptional supply, most stores in Kentucky are bereft of any rimfire ammo beyond the .17WSM, which is a victim of the B-Mag debacle.

Finding any rimfire ammo elsewhere in Kentucky (particularly if it's your favorite load) is worthy of taking the wife out to dinner in celebration.

Whittaker's has some competition in Kentucky, KYgunco.com is one of those, and those are the only two shops I've been in that had any "good" rimfire this year, to speak of. Some of the chain stores have gotten ammo in, (Cabela's, Dick's, Academy), but not in the quantity that Whittaker's had that Saturday we were there.

Whittaker's, while a wonderful place, simply isn't a good example of the typical Kentucky gunshop, it's exceptional, not typical.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
