Greedy [bleep], ain't they? Sounds like a good place to ignore.

I originally though it was a typo but no its just old fashion thievery.

Ok, I have much more versatile alternative at about $5 per shot. A bolt gun chambered for .416 Remington Magnum. With 350 Swift-A-frame bullet it has very similar ballistic trajectory to .30-06 with 180gr. Much better knockdown power at all practical hunting ranges.

Yeah seeing greedy scalpers at work in south dakota also 500-550 bulk 22lr / 60 box etc. Mb

Local shops around me are saying they haven’t gotten a 30/30 box in over a year. Guess it was on the back of the production list when Covid hit.

You can bet I will never send a dollar their way.

At least right now on Ammoseek the ammo offered by Alamo is the lowest price 30-30 available right now. Other offers pop up a bit lower and then disappears quick. So it's selling out at over $4 per round. Seems like $5 per round is the current constantly available going price for 30-30.

Crazy

Fugg’m. I have .30-30 brass I’ve been reloading over 20 years. And I make my own bullets these days. And know how to recharge primers. Oh, almost forgot, a local loony is making his own BP.

I seldom smile when confronted with highway robbers.

Every time we have a firearms industry run, I see who I’ll never buy from again.

I'm guessing they are typos and the actual prices are... $14.95 and $21.95.

Someone with fat fingers probably entered the numbers into the web program.

Have you called them to them to confirm those prices?
Posted By: GeoW Re: 30-30 Ammo - 12/04/20
No, all their ammo is priced like that, maybe no as high but still outrageous. Like $80 a box for Prvi Partizan.
Posted By: Justahunter Re: 30-30 Ammo - 12/05/20
I sent them an email letting them know I support their right to ask whatever they want, but called them scroung of the gun world scalpers and that I’d never spend a cent with them.

They still have 10 boxes available.... owners must be democRATS...
Posted By: pymi Re: 30-30 Ammo - 12/05/20
That's crazy, I thought $30 a box locally was bad.
Posted By: Ohio7x57 Re: 30-30 Ammo - 12/05/20
I'd not spend a nickel at their site.....Ever! I understand supply and demand, but that's just plain price gouging.

I really don't get this mentality, nor do I understand people calling them "gougers" or "scalpers". How can you gouge/scalp someone on a non-essential, non life-sustaining item such as .30-30 ammo? It honestly makes no sense why people get all bent out of shape about this stuff. Now, it would be one thing if we are talking about bottled water in a hurricane, but this is nothing more than ammo....and .30-30 ammo at that.

This is capitalism, plain and simple. You may not like it, but a business is free to sell items at any price they choose....just as you are free not to buy those items. But calling them names is a little petty.
