Howdy says he found some there. Can't comment on that particular Walmart but in the past two years I've seen 22 at Walmart exactly twice. Once in the Victoria Walmart, the last box of which was being purchased by someone in front of me at the gun counter, and once at the Cuero Walmart.TEX wrote:I have a hard time believing the Katy Wal-Mart has .22 ammo. I go there at least once a week and have been for the past two years, and never, ever, have they had any .22 in stock. Where exactly are they hiding it??????????????????????????????
I used to check different Walmarts several times a week and never found any 22. Stopped bothering after about a year and now only check when I happen to be in Walmart for some reason. The second time I just happened upon a 1,000 round box at the Cuero store that looked like it had been set back where it wouldn't be seen.
Maybe I've just had exceptionally bad luck.....but it hasn't seemed to manifest itself at other stores I visit far less frequently, like Cabelas and Academy, where on several occasions I've found 333, 500, and 1,000 round bricks in stock. Funny that, I visit Walmart probably 20 times more often than Cabelas (no Cabelas near where I live) yet I've been able to purchase 22 there one time in the last two years, but have found 22 at Cabelas on about half of my visits.
I do check out the local Academy about once a week and that's another interesting contrast. It's right across the street from Walmart and it ALWAYS has 22 in stock.....usually just 50 round boxes (in the past with a 3 box limit and now a 10 box limit)...yet I've never found ANY in stock at the Walmart across the street. I checked Walmart this Tuesday....no 22....crossed the street to Academy....bought ten 50 round boxes, leaving plenty on the shelves.
It's pretty clear to me that at a lot of Walmarts 22 never even makes it to the shelves for customers to purchase....not all that's coming in anyway....maybe a few token boxes here and there.
