Factory 10 round magazines are going for 30 at the minimum.
Well, I hadn't looked there. Looked on ebay, gun broker and a few others. But still, even if I had to use 10 round mags, I would be behind the 8 ball as everyone else would have 25 mags. I am sure I could use someones, but finding .22lr is hard also.
OP, you are talking about Rimfire Madness Matches at Riley? Second, this happened last elections; a lot of people bought up everything in sight. Hope by spring supply will catch up again.
Yep, Riley CC rimfire. Been to two of them, first time i shot a M&P 15-22 and then the second time I shot my old P22. The P22 was not that great, so I traded it for a shotgun and will get a Ruger 10/22 next month sometime. The big reason I went with a 10/22 is cost.
A friend bought a S&W 22 for use in CMP Rimfire Sporter Matches at 25 and 50 yards. He is a Master Class Highpower shooter. (BigDaddy1427) He knows how to shoot from position. The semi auto S&W 22 is not even close to being accurate enough.
He switched to a 10-22 and started winning.
As for me, if anyone cares, I use a Remington Model 5 bolt action 22. It is more than accurate enough. It can surely shoot clean. I can't, but that is my problem...
