22 ammo isn't that hard to find--it's just a question whether you want to pay the going prices (11 cents/round).Rich A
.22 ammo becomes invisible and unobtainable to the Guzzisti-minded at about .08 per round ..... !At that price, our arms shorten so that we can't reach into our pockets, and our hands shake so pay we couldn't pass the money across the counter anyway .....Lannis

\Naa, I can reload centerfire cheaper than that. Fortunately, I have a bunch of 22 squirreled away. It's my retirement nest egg.. ;D
??? An ammo shortage is the US, surely not. BoatDetective my Apologies if this somewhat hijacks the thread, but while all the .22 guys are looking, I have been given a very nice .22 Mauser-Werke A.G.Oberndorf a.N. Pre wwII item. I'm looking for a Magazine for it, 5 or 10 shot ? not sure what it came with. can anyone help or point me to someone who can.Again , sorry Boatdetective, but my pick would be a Brno Model 2 if you can find one, I'm sure the Czech's copied this Mauser to make the brno's, I used a model 2 for a while target shooting years back did quite well ;-T
it is amazing how expensive .22 rounds are. Makes no sense to me.I learned to shoot on Grandpa's 22 lever. My brother has it. I got his 12 ga.
You might want to look for a BSA Martini Mark II. Very accurate and sometimes available for $500-600. You can also sometimes find an older Anschutz 64 for under $1000.Remington 37s and 40Xs along with Winchester 52s have really risen in price lately but there are still occasional bargains out there. Last year I picked up an original 52C for $700 - great bluing, stock not dinged up, Redfield Olympic sights- so you never know.If you're thinking about some serious club shooting I would hold out for one of the above. ;-T
Essentially- I am to blame for posting something that would just put me in a "collect the whole set" frame of mind. After all, the only prudent choice would be to have a 10/22, a cool lever, a classic Winchester, a Browning pump, that kwazy BSA single shot, a CZ, etc. etc.
It doesn't matter what ya buy, ya can't find ammo! :'(
Dave- I can tell you that i have a very close friend who work in a gun store here- it has been a problem. His distributor doesn't have .22. It is easing up somewhat. No one has a good explanation.
