There's going to be one VERY happy boy a few hours after the FEDEX truck shows up. Big Grin

Yep. Not my favorite picture of me in uniform, but the wife likes it so there it hangs.

I still have a box from the original release of the CCI Stinger. Price tag from all those years ago is still legible at $1.80 for the box of 100. Still cannot can't come to grips with 22LR costing about as much as my 9mm reloads.


I've stopped counting.

My local Dicks sporting goods had tons of 22s yesterday. Win and R.E.M. 100 packs were $8.99&9.99. They had Fed auto match and buckets of bulk R.E.M.
Dicks and Wally World are the only places to buy IMO.

I noticed yesterday that WalMart had dropped its prices to $6.47 a box for CCI.

Happy shooting parallel Jr.!!!!! That apple didn't fall very from from THAT three, did it?? Big Grin

I don't think .22LR is even shipped to NW Houston, TX Walmart locations. At least not ones within a 20-mile radius of MY house.....

And JMHO....anything over $0.06 a pull for .22LR is ENTIRELY too damned expensive. I know we've hashed that out before on here. I just bought 5 boxes of 100-count Winchester Super X (500 rounds) for $36, but had a $25 gift certificate; brought the cost down to $0.072 per pull...STILL too expensive! I remember buying that same clear red box of Winchester Super X for $2.99 consistently and sometimes on sale for $1.99. Oh well...the things that change as you age.

And as my Grandchildren say when I exclaim over prices... "but Grampa that's just what it costs".
Makes me chuckle. Every time I hear that I know they will be old someday and will likely hear the same words.

Next time you fly into Dulles, take a trip to WalMart in Chantilly. They have loads of 22 LR. Smile

Been a little while since I've been in there & not sure where in NW Houston you are, but the WalMart on Rayford & 99 usually had some flavor of CCI in stock pretty frequently.

You might not believe this, but my son is adopted (as is our daughter). I know, he does look just like me (and he has the same mannerisms). So much so that my mother-in-law asked me where I was 9 months before he was born. When he was about 14 months I sent a picture to my mom in PA. She then sent me a picture of me at 6 months and at about 15 months and if I didn't know any better I'd swear it was him and not me I was looking at.

The REALLY freaky part? Our little girl looks just like my wife did at that age AND she's a wild child just like Mrs Parallel was at that age (m-i-l spilled the beans, I wasn't supposed to know she was a handful as a kid Big Grin ). I like to think that this all means that our family was always meant to be. Smile

My local hunting fishing store has that ammo, CCI standard .22, for $29. a 500 round brick. .06/ea. I'd bought one (there was no limit and they have a lot of it), but seeing 5000 sell for .089/ea, I'm thinking I should get a few more. Pretty much out of room for ammo, but at least .22 doesn't take up much space.
