Walked in to Academy for ammo,....

[Teamless]

Walked out with an XDs and a Ruger 10/22 Takedown, I'd say not a bad ammo trip LOL

I've done the same thing twice in the last week and a half. First was a XDs and yesterday was a XD45.
And still haven't gotten any ammo.

[strider67]

That wasn't what I was expecting...but outstanding!

[gthaustex]

Now the question is, can you find ammo for the Ruger? Or did you have enough from before the craziness..?

You beat me to it. That is the question!

Well, I do (did?) - see below you will understand) have about 700 rounds of .22 ammo.
When I first walked into Academy this morning, they had probably 300 - 500 100ct boxes of CCI ammo, as well as .45 . 40 9mm, etc.
So I picked up 1 box of CCI 100 ct (a bit overpriced, but if I could only get 1 box of the caliber, I didn't want it to be a 50 ct box!


So when I bought the guns, I was told "since you are buying a gun, you can get 3 boxes of ammo for them"
So I picked up 3 more 100 ct boxes of CCI, and I convinced a lady that wanted 9mm (but not .22 or .40) that I would buy a box of 9mm for her if she bought me a .22 and a .40, so we did that, I paid her the difference after we each rang up our own, so I ended up walking out with 500 rounds of .22 and Instead of buying 3 boxes of .45, I got 3 boxes of .40 (they weren't supposed to let you do that, but as I was going to spend over $1100 for the sale, I think they looked the other way for me)

So now I have about 1200 rounds of .22
And you are thinking, why did I pass on the .45 and the 9mm, cuz I have about 1500 rounds of each already that I bought when I could get 500 count boxes at Academy.

So do I have enough .22?
Can you ever have enough .22?
Nope!
But I hope things are easing and when they do, I am going to buy a box or 2 a week (550 count hopefully!) until I get up to 10,000 rounds or so of .22!

I'm looking for a 10/22 and I was at the same Academy Friday morning for ammo. I usually go to the back and ask about 10/22 but I didn't yesterday. Oh well, I'll take this as a lesson learned. This morning they had a lot of 525 bricks of 22 lr. By the time I left the store there were only 3 bricks left. Again, I didn't go to the back to check on the 10/22.

By the way, what were they charging for the 10/22 takedown?

[nyj]

Congrats. I'd love the 10/22 take down.

Enjoy the XDs. Has been my favorite carry gun so far.

i keep seeing the xds at academy but i've yet to see a 10/22 takedown in the wild. I keep looking for just a regular 10/22 for a project rifle and cant find one for a decent price.

[Teamless]

they didnt' have the takedown on display and I wouldn't have known it was there, if it were for 2 of the sales guys saying "is the Takedown still here"
Once I heard that I said "ILL TAKE IT" before I heard the price

The price was $349 + tax
Of course, it only came 1 10rd mag, so I picked up 2 x 25 round mags also, so add on another $60 or so!

We shot it today, only at 25 and 50 yards, but with the iron sights, it is dead on!

The Arms Room had 2 regular 10/22's last week, but sold quickly.
They were (I think) $259 each or so.

I guess I'll wait to see if I can score on a regular at Academy someday. I saw the carbine at Carter's Country for $279 but I'll wait.

I always look over the counter to see what's in the cage under the rifle displays.
Seen some mossberg ar-15 22s but nothing ruger at all

Academy seems to be getting in more XDS's. I had a very similar experience about two weeks ago. They used to be about like finding a unicorn.

[xb12s]

I have seen three XDS's in the last couple of months - one at Webster Academy, one at Marburger Sporting Goods, and one at the Pasadena Carter's. The Shield was harder to find.

I have also been on the lookout for a Ruger 10/22. Congrats Teamless on finding yours.
