re: $80 doesn't get you a lot of ammo these days.

Your decimal is off by two places.

Somewhere in Phenix City, he was just visiting some family. I’ll give him a shout and see where exactly though

Just heard from my uncle, actually was in Columbus at Express pawn shop on Veterans which is right across the river from Phenix City. He said they had plenty. If your dad does make that trip tell him to stop off at the 14th street grill in Phenix for some chili dogs, he won’t regret it

Stopped at the Atwood's in Magnolia, AR today to pick up something and found some 45 ACP Federal Aluminum case ammo. Bought the max of 2 boxes. #100 rounds for $35. I was pleased.

Barnes bullets are starting to show up on Midway now, but they don't last long. Usually gone in 24-48 hours. I've had 22 Nosler Dogtown (Midway store brand, but made by Nosler) brass email notification pending since July 2020. I got notified it was in stock about 10 days ago. I ordered #500 (probably a lifetime supply for me). Within 4 days it was out of stock again.

Rural King near us has had Wolf 00 Buck (9 pellets) for $11.99 per box of 20. Limit is two boxes so I have slowly purchased 26 boxes over a few weeks time.

They routinely have 9mm for $11.99 per box of 50. This is Remington, Winchester, Browning, S&B, Tulammo or Wolf. Just depends on what arrives. The 9mm usually sells out in 3-4 hours but only because they limit you to 2 boxes.

Anyone here ever ordered from OpticsPlanet? Just ordered some ammo for various guns. It’s all back ordered 3-5 months

ETA: I’m not in a huge hurry for the ammo thankfully

Anyone on here have insight as to when manufacturers are going to catch up? I get CV and communists on the loose, but it’s been 9 months

Bought a scope from them years ago that was “in stock”, a few days later I get an email saying it wasn’t in stock and didn’t know if it ever would be. I was given some different scope options by them that were also “in stock”, I picked one and a few days later the exact same thing happened. Got my refund and have never dealt with them again

Yea I got some ammo for 30-30, 30-06, 22LR, and 9mm and spent close to $150. I know that doesn’t say much, y’all not knowing how much ammo I got. I liked that I could go ahead and pay and will get some (hopefully) when it comes in. The other websites had an alert system but many times I’m without my phone or not in position to drop everything and hurry up and pay.

Qty 2: Remington Core-Lokt .30-06 Springfield 180 grain Core-Lokt Soft Point Centerfire Rifle Ammo, 20 Rounds, 21407
RT-LAR-MFBT28-21407 $33.49 Estimated to ship within 3-5 months
Qty 1: Remington Core-Lokt .30-30 Winchester 170 grain Core-Lokt Soft Point Centerfire Rifle Ammo, 20 Rounds, 27820
RT-LAR-RA16-R30302 $25.99 Estimated to ship within 3-5 months
Qty 2: Winchester SUPER-X RIMFIRE .22 Long Rifle 40 grain T22 Lead Round Nose Rimfire Ammo, 50 Rounds, XT22LR
WQ-ARM-WIN711-XT22LR $7.99 No availability estimate

My first order w/ Optics Planet went well, but my next order went like yours. I cancelled the order, got a refund, then bought it from someone else. I stay away from them now.
