I had to run down to BiMart yesterday to get some stuff and just for shits and grins I stopped by the Sporting Goods desk to see if they had any .22 LR shells.
I was very pleasantly amazed to see that not only did they have some CCI in stock, they had 500 round boxes of Stingers on hand!
So I snagged two 50 round plastic boxes of regular .22LR and one of the 500 round boxes of Stingers.
Since I had to wrap a couple gifts for the Wifely Unit anyway, I wrapped up the Stingers, slapped a tag on it with my name on it from Santa and sneaked it in under the tree when she wasn’t looking.
She’s gonna pitch a fit because she asked me several times if I wanted some ammo for Christmas and I kept saying yes but she was talking 9mm and .556.
I haven’t seen Stingers in BiMart for years so I kinda cheated but in my defense, she never asked me if I wanted any .22 shells.
LOL!
Merry Christmas to me!
Well done, and if she gets upset just say you were thinking of her.
My grandson did the same but with 30-06. That stuff is expensive.
Picked up a 327. Now for some bullets.
My absolute favorite Christmas gift as a kid was a 500 round brick of .22LR.
Good on you Phil. We are all too old to play the what do you want for Christmas game. We haven’t played that game for twenty plus years. If we want it, we buy it ourselves. Takes the stress out of Christmas. He just bought a new CCW that fits in his front jean pocket, merry Christmas my baby! And .22LR is my favorite for plinking the vermin in the yard. 😁
So BLM in the yard get the .22 treatment?
you can never have enough .22 on hand. they will be as good as money when the time comes.
Merry Christmas, Phil, to you and yours and all who visit this awesome site!
Ha. I just bought myself a new Kimber 1911. I’ve been a good boy this year…..mostly.
Bwahahaha you remind me of me. I have bought myself Christmas every year. The really funny years were when I beat her to the punch of what she was going to get me right before the big day
I put 2 X 5.56 ammo cans under the tree along with all the presents, just to see if anyone notices when we send them the photographs. . . . .
