.22 Short in the wild in East TN?


Recommended Posts

I see it at one Walmart location or another around here every once in a while.  Not all that often, mind you, but probably more often lately than I see .22LR in those locations.  I think I have seen some once or twice at Academy and/or Gander in Knoxville but won't swear to it.  Mostly it has been CCI in the clear, plastic boxes I have seen but, again, not very often anywhere.  Other than that, not really.

this old man would really like to have a box or two of short hollow points havent seen any in YEARS

I scored one box of 100 CCI ones a couple of years ago at Wallly. Bought by default just because there wasn't anything else around and was shocked to see any .22 at all at the time.

I get down to nooga every other month or so, will see about swapping them to you or whatever.

I run into them occasionally, usually academy or Gander. I have and old revolver that only shoots shorts and the family likes shooting it so I try and keep near 200 on hand. The plus side is they are not inflated prices when I see them and don't usually have the limit on them.

There was some 100rd sticks of 22 short at the Brainerd Walmart a few weeks ago. If you really want some take a drive up to Outpost Armory, they have more 22 ammo than I have seen in yrs.

Thank. I am keeping a watch at the local Wal-marts. Unfortunately, Outpost is a good drive for me (4 1/2 hours) so I do not see getting to drop by there any time soon. I will see about their website.

 Have you asked the person in the sporting goods department? When our Wal-Mart does get .22 ammo it doesn't go on the shelf, it goes under the counter and you have to ask.

Yeah, I got used to doing that when LR was so short. Most of ours have started putting it on the shelf again though.

I will find some, it is just taking longer than I would like. So many people are still hot to find LR that I am not sure anyone is ordering short, maybe not even making it.

I bought 2 boxes of Aguila colibri cb shorts at sportsman's warehouse in Chattanooga last week. They probably had 10 more boxes.

Not a full power short, but fun with the kids. Absolutely lethal on tin cans and necco wafers.

I am not sure I have one around up here in the far East, but I will look. I am leaning toward low power due to what I am going to shoot it in anyway. Just looking to plink. If I seriously needed to use .22, I have my Marlin 60 rifle that is my go to .22LR slinger. 

Thanks

Nooga store is only one in TN, you may about at as close to the one in Lexington, KY or Roanoke, VA.

Ok thanks I looked at their site. Too far to go for a box of shorts.

 We had a Sportsman Liquidators here, but it closed. That is why I thought I recognized the name. Wrong as usual. Lol
