Default varmint ammo

Is it just me or is there no more varmint ammo (.17HMR and .22) out there? Went to Wally World, and Can Tire...nuthin. Checked Cabela's online...nuthin. My buddy went all over Edmonton..nuthin. Does anyone know where to find some?

Roger at Shooter's Choice (home-based business in Arrowood, approximately 40 km north of Vulcan) has Federal 525 bulk .22LR for $24 per box, or $230 per case of 10 (GST included). I think those prices are correct.......check his website: www.shooterschoice.ca

While you're there, you may find other things to buy, too!!

You will be hard-pressed to find a nicer gentleman!

Good luck
Hawkeye

Default No ammo

I was it at UFA in the Fort yesturday and the guy behind the counter said the Hutterian Brethren was in and cleaned out the town. Said it looked like they were going to war!!

Quite a selection of Rimfire ammo at P&D, not the cheapest prices, but still a very good selection. FS

The colonies usually have a guy or 2 on the gopher patrol. We bumped into a fellow on Hutterite land last year near Airdrie....spends each day out on his old tractor with his CZ22 and a gopher whistle. Buys 22ammo in batches of 5000. And there are a lot of Colonies in AB.
Man, a dead eye "Jacob" he was.

I stocked up all winter, buying a box here and there...I am good if the gophers ever turn on us....

Depends if they are of the Dariusleut, Schmiedeleut, Lehrleleut or "Budlite" sect.

I was in the sporting goods store in Lac La Biche today, they had a good selection and reasonable prices.
