I’d be down for a 6.5 CM bolt gun, but not motivated to deal with the registration BS right now. Maybe a 6.5 Grendel upper. Have seen both on shelves at a few LGSs.

Wolf is not made in China, it's made in Taiwan.  Russian components, American components, all made in Taiwan.

Lots of .22 pellets and hard to find CO2 cartridges.  Mechanics of accuracy are the same.   My louder air guns have LDCs on the muzzle do the old hag next door does not piss and moan.

The video confirms what I've already been thinking.  I like the idea of helping fellow gunowners by selling ammunition if you happen to have more than enough.

But that's the dilemma.  How much is enough?

I've given away some ammo as well as sold to friends for what I paid for.  A couple of them new-ish gun owners.  Been telling them for many years to get firearms and ammo.  But no. . . rather spend on booze, cigars, and wimmenz. . .  ::)   :rofl:

This is the free market at work and why price caps don't work.  Prices are high so people have the incentive to sell their stash to those in need, and replenish when prices are low.

How much is enough is situation dependent.  For me, I like to stock up at least one years worth of ammo.  In slow years it may be shooting 2,000 rounds a year.  In my training and competition years it could be 10,000.  The average gun owner shoots 100 rounds or less.

To be, or not to be a fudd, that is the question. Every time I type fudd the spell check changes it to fund.

And, please tell me. What is a “contract prescription”?  :rofl:

I did an accounting a couple of weeks ago.  I think I have like 2-3k of 22, but I only have to feed two pistols.  Wish I bought a bolt action .22 lr, which was my plan a while ago.

The bays are still closed and no more skill builders with the group I shoot with either, so that's helping a lot by saving ammo.  Went to the pistol side this past weekend and I shot 25rds 9mm and the wife shot about 75rds 9mm.

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy 10 boxes of 223 @ $24.99/20 ct than to buy 100 rounds for $240?
