drck1000 and Akubone1,,

We should talk story between live-fire cycles at Kokohead.

Bushido, 556fun, and I usually on the left-side of the rifle range.

Me and 556fun usually there if prediction is "little or no wind".  (We no like waste ammo.  Or  We just lazy)


Sounds awesome.   I’ll gladly accept advice from knowledgeable 22 shooters.  I don’t want to throw money away with the wrong builds.  Definitely let me know the next time you plan on going to kokohead.

Bushido says "wind is my friend" on the prone shooting area.

I'm not the guy to advise on custom builds and all that rabbit hole stuff.

But I'll be there with my basic Savage Mark 2 TR to shoot the Silhouette match and after lunch for some 200 yard action.

Meh, I'm regularly sliding full speed down the rabbit hole.  Being busy with work puts the brakes on my slide down that slope.   ;D

I've long ago resisted the slide down the hole. It will happen faster for some than others. I just figure, YOLO and I could be spending my money on far worst things. Sadly shooting is just one passion of many expensive ones that I have and my income is not quite like esk's.  :geekdanc:

When you get your build ready to zero, LMK. I'm sure esk and the others will come out even if conditions is "Bushido kind wind".  ;D

They bring in any 22 at a reasonable price? Last a checked, Jen said things were around 15 cpr

Pre COVID, you would ask Jennifer to obtain some XX ammo for you. 
Jennifer would check around with her wholesale disributors and get back to you with a price, and shpping to Hawaii.

After ammo supplies disappeared, Jennifer would tell you to find and purchase the ammo, and ship to her business in North Dakota.
She would then accept delivery, put it in her shipment to Hawaii.  You would pay the shipping/handling costs.

LMHO - taste primo ammo once and you’ll be hooked for life.  There is no rehab for this addiction except hara kiri!!!

As a wise old man who wears an orange vest once told me always buy the best!  “Buy once Cry once” But, if you take the road a lot of us has traveled at some point you will go for the golden rifle only to look back and find out how many times you cried once!

Buy the best and just cry once!!!

Always best to ask Jennifer for permission to ship to her company: admin@kaleoarms.com
She usually answers in 1/2 day or less.

Have your ammo distributor send your order "UPS Ground"
to Shipping Address:

I have done this many times without any problems.

When it arrives, Jennifer will call or email you to pickup somewhere or in Kapahulu.

Yeah, one can always spend money on worse things.  And maybe a bit of both/all for me.   :(  ;D

I also have other expensive hobbies, but shooting is the "main" one right now. 

Will do.  The gun should be here middle of this week and the scope mount hopefully end of the week.  I have some 22 ammo with more on order, so hopefully ready to rock soon.   :geekdanc:

Yup, I've dealt with Jen and Kaleo Arms a bunch of times in the past.  Super cool and were great to get ammo that were tough to get in Hawaii.  Match rifle ammo, .41 Mag, etc.  Of course the usual calibers. 

I put in an order for some .22 lr.  In doing some research, found some Eley and other "better grade" ammo that were about the same as I found stuff like CCi mini-mags. 

I was able to find some great deals on lots of 5k, but maybe will pursue that in a future order.

Whenever that might be, please let us all know. I expect you'll find some buyers to go on in a case. Enough maybe to do a case of something different. I'd love to try all the fancy stuff in my Savage. Thank you.

Ahh, roger.  Will do, or at least try to remember. That said, if I forget, I'm always down to share if I end up ordering a 5k lot.   :thumbsup:

Hopefully prices come down a little.  Just ordered a couple of bricks of Eley match and a couple of Center X.  The SK rifle match shot pretty good out of my CZ…hopefully it likes a variety of ammo.  If prices come down I’ll look more into case pricing. 

Too funny and ironic.  Thought I was getting into the cheaper shooting option by going the 22 route.  Wrong…totally opposite.

Bushido & Esk-Vader: "Luke (Akubone), come to the dark side"  ;D

I was "kinda" warned from another shooting buddy who is quite pake, but also loves shooting .22 lr.  Very interesting dynamic there.   :rofl:

I was texting Inspector to get some scoops on who he recommended I check out for .22 lr ammo.  One site had great prices, but min order by the 5k batch.  I not gonna like, I was tempted to be like "ah, fcuk it, I might as well splurge" and buy a couple of 5k batches.

Had to have been Bruno’s. They are a good place to order from. Heavies turned me on to them. I think they are offering free shipping on cases as well?

Yeah, from your helpful feedback.  From what I recall, I think it was free shipping on the 5k.  I would have to check though.  I'll be keeping them in my bookmarked sites.
