I haven't seen a box of rifle ammo lately for under $25, of any kind. I bought a box of Federal .270 and it was $30 after tax and everything... That same box was like $14.99 not that long ago.

Shotgun shells surprised me too. I don't see how a guy could afford to shoot clays anymore at 50c a shell for target loads. 

But I guess this is the new "normal." If inflation isn't enough alone, some asshat will swipe it first and try to sell it to you for more.

True. A year or so ago with the 22 shells. Guys would find out when Walmarts delivery was and be there to buy what they could, just to resale within minutes for profit, leaving those that wanted them to teach youngins to shoot, or hunt with, to be shorthanded. Facebook was a killer in that market.

@Ketchup I have these vintage 410 shells that were carried by me when I was 10. That would have been 1979. I’ll take $75 a piece. LOL

Just the cost of having a good time. I would be an expensive date though. 
 

We should have an OAF shoot sometime.

I’m all in. I’ve tried to get the air gun guys on here together, but they shy away when wrench posts his targets after shooting.

Ha! 😂  

Yeah right🙄  I have only posted pics of the really good/lucky ones.   Most of them I won't even let my wife see.

At the risk of getting inundated, if a feller was wanting to get a good (not Olympic level) air rifle what should he be looking at.  I doubt my old Gamo with scope is good enough.

We have had a very informative discussion on this over on the airgun thread. Lots of great info there. 
 

I just ordered my first PCP after having spring guns the past few years “in that thread”. I’m excited about this new endeavor. 
 

I bet that Gamo will shoot good enough to take my venison summer sausage with jalapeño,  “my prize donation to our first “OA Airgunners Quest Shoot”

There is an airgun thread?  Well I should pay more attention!
