Update:
The latest scuttlebutt from a buddy of mine whose deep into the gun world, tells me the prices are starting to slack off. Ammo manufactures are finally getting caught up and the demand is decreasing as people finally get their stock piles up to par. Dealers are releasing more from their stock as sales start to slump a little. So while the worst part may be over on a temporary basis it's still no excuse not stock up, that is, given the current state of affairs and all it's potential.
.38s and .357s are becoming available around here but not .380s.......that seems to still be the most scarce but I heard from a reliable source that they will be coming around in about a month or so |

Good news!! Was at Cabelas near Harrisburg Pa a weeks ago. They had reloading stuff on the shelf. The primer hunt may be coming to a close shortly. They had plenty of primers in all sizes, no shortage of brass or lead either, no jacked up prices! That's a major good sign!

FFL =  Old .22s are fun, I grew up shooting a Winchester pump action .22 that my mom owned for decades. She sold about ten years ago. |

I sorta miss it, currently I don't own a .22 rifle. I went out rabbit hunting today with a beastly Winchester .12 gauge, sited a rabbit and the decided not to shoot because it would have been too nasty to clean. My primary rabbit/varmint guns have always been .22 pistols or rifles. The Hi-Standard I posted a photo of would be perfect for that but it is currently visiting the gunsmith, hopefully it will be back on duty soon. Actually, an air rifle would probably be the best way to go for rabbits, seems like they have come a long way since I was a kid.
My dad currently has an old Remington .22 like you mentioned but it is in pretty bad shape. He acquired it from a farmer and by the looks of the gun I think it may have been stored in a barn for several decades... probably since the 1960s lol. I offered to take it home for him and clean it up but he seems to think it's a project he will enjoy.... probably in the distant future.
Are you a hunter Bactu?

I used to hunt JC. Gave it up years ago, too much time involved. I been wantn' to get back into it. That old Rem 550 is a project. Mine is missing parts and I have to start from scratch. Hopefully when I'm done it'll be like new again.

I saw a buddy's .17HMR the other day. It's extremely accurate.
