.22 ammo availability

[Ballstater98]

Thanks again for the tip on this. I got in early with my order and thought I had scored a rare for me .22LR ammo buy.

Just a little heads up on this. I ordered this ammo when it was showing "available" and added another 50ish bucks in other merchandise to justify the shipping costs. A few days later I received the other merchandise, but no ammo. Turns out I had been backordered on the ammo with no notification. After a couple minimal info emails, Cabelas has cancelled the outstanding backorder. I explained politely that I was not happy with their customer service.

Again, thank you Ballstater98. I'm less than happy with Cabelas though.

Wow. That's terrible! Keep your eyes peeled. You'll score soon enough.

Heads up, when ordering 22(or anything) on line, you can't put in in your cart, and then browse around. You will lose it. Putting in your cart does not secure it. It's not yours until you checkout and pay for it. The trick is to have stuff in your cart first. It's not Cabela's fault. They have one of the best customer service ratings in the country. You just have to understand how the system works. And no, it wasn't bait and switch.

I tried that with Amazon at Christmas Time. (not ammo this time) By the time I got the cart filled with shopping, some went up in price and others were sold out. I was dinking around for a couple hours either...

No notice at checkout?

Not my first rodeo. I shopped quick and verified "available" just prior to checkout.
I still have yet to receive a notice the ammo has been backordered. The only communication from Cabelas have been short, less than helpful sorry replies to my initial emails. After receiving the incomplete order, it shows the backordered .22LR on Cabelas site under "my orders." That is the only "notification" I had.

That really crappy on Cabela's for not telling you at the time of purchase it was out-of-stock and then cancelling your back order to boot. I would not be shopping there again if it was me, but I don't shop there anyway because their prices are too high. I had a similar out-of-stock issue with Sportsman's Guide (showed in-stock when it wasn't) and got the out-of-stock notice shortly after I placed the order. They got the back-ordered item to me in a little under a month and at the original price, so it worked out ok.

I try to never say never. If I have problems with them so will others. They'll eventually fix the CS issues or go under. I don't see them going under or even backwards for very long.

I'll cautiously keep Cabelas at arms length for "defensive shopping" of their exclusive sale items (unmatched sale prices on bulk packed Roadrunner jigs.) In the meantime, they'll be losing out to Amazon and others for other random sporting related purchases.

I went to Gander Mountain Saturday for the 22LR. sale, the same ole senior citizens that camp out at Wal-Mart were there in front of the line waiting to hoard, and scalp, I don't get it, these guys were all in their mid to upper 70'S and around 300LBS. looks like they use their profits to go to the Golden Coral. To me I'll wait them out, with their lifestyle they won't be camped out at Wal-Mart too much longer.

Bitter much?
Next time say something to them instead of running home and attacking them with a keyboard

You say you don't get it?
Let me help - the old fat guys are faster/smarter than you.



And no I'm not one of them even though I'm old and fat I don't wait in line for .22's.

Adding a link just in case anyone looking at this thread as a serious place to find 22lr ammo is looking.

CCI .22LR Standard Velocity 500rd Box 50035

 

[THE BIG SITT]

So I am finally getting around to setting up an alert on ammoseek.com . What do you guys have your limit set at for 22lr? I'm thinking $.06/rd before shipping, $.08/rd after shipping.

I'm having a friend pick up 325 round boxes at GM today for 25 a box. not too bad these days.. The GM in Terre Haute

 

[teddy12b]

Stinger's at Cabelas for $8 per 50.

Depends what it is. I'll pay maybe $.055/rd OTD for descent bulk, and if I'm desperate, maybe up to $.085/rd OTD for CCI mini-mags.

 

[Ericpwp]

I have a problem with the bulk stuff not even being around at .08/rd. Those are CCI prices, and forget CCI at .10/rd. Not to mention the bulk stuff going out in 50rd boxes, limit 1 at that.

Several months ago I bought a 1600 rd case of CCI mini-mag 40gr with ammo can for $120 at Cabela's in Louisville. That's $.075/rd and they threw in the can!

I haven't been back since as I'm still feeding the mini-mags to my 22/45.

That's the same price they were selling those packs for before the crisis. I picked up one of those in early 2012 and thought it was a halfway decent deal. Basically worked out to be about the same price as buying them in 100 pack increments at Walmart if you factored in about $10 for the ammo can.

Went to Cabela's this morning to stock 9mm for a range trip and they actually had quite a bit of .22LR. I bought a 3-pack of CCI tactical for $23.99 ($.08/rd). They also had individual 100rd boxes for $8.49, which is higher than pre-panic but doable. Couldn't buy any more because of the purchase limit.

Not to interrupt, but here's some 22lr Federal Auto Match .22LR 40gr Lead Round Nose 325rd AM22

I found an amazing amount of 22 at Gander in Castleton Friday during my lunch hour. They had a good 50+ boxes of 325s with even more varieties that were on the cart not unloaded yet. I was able to snag a couple for about $0.08 out the door. Sounds like some warehouses finally got restocked.
