Not to argue with you tarheel - but that certainly has not been my experience after shopping the entire market ... and ultimately buying a LOT of gear from Midway over the years. By and large, they have typically been one of the best value oriented e-tailers in the industry. I think they are just now responding to the escalating ammo costs that have impacted everyone (manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retails ... and most significantly, the end-users). For some odd reason, folks seem to think distributors like Midway are paying the same ammo wholesale prices that they were 8-12-24 months ago ... they aren’t ... not even close.
