Doesn’t even mention any ammunition. Probably better than advertising stuff they don’t have.

They are the only place around Springfield with any ammo right now. Some trap and upland game loads and turkey loads. My dad drove up from Highland (90 minutes) because he couldn’t find any turkey loads anywhere. So at least they have that...

The last time I was in Scheels they had an entire pallet of .380 Auto shells. Not even one box of 9mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP. They had very little hunting ammo for rifles either but quite a few guns. The counterman said it’s hard to sell guns without ammo for them.

I stopped in there yesterday, it had been a while. Their gun selection was fantastic, as good as it ever is, it seemed. Lots of shotguns, rifles, pistols, and black rifles. Basically no rifle or pistol ammunition. Some hunting shotgun shells, no trap loads.

Eden Prairie MN store had a decent amount of sub-gauge AAs a couple days age but nothing in 12s.

You'll see guns hitting the shelves with regularity as manufacturing is catching up. It's the empty ammo shelves that'll allow it to happen. Gun's no good without ammo.
Most of us realize that the gun's the cheap part. It's nowhere near being over.

It’s a lot like free or low cost computer printers. They make their money on ink.

I'm afraid you are right WadHopper. It's getting harder to find shot also. This sucks.

They had about 5 bags of 9 shot and 2 of 7 1/2. $50

2 weeks ago the had a whole bunch of federal gold medal papers and fiocchi papers in stock. I stocked up on their limit 100 rounds per caliber.

So did the Scheel's in Eau Claire, and they also had Small Rifle CCI reg. and Mag. , and Small Pistol CCI, as well as No. 11 BP caps; no 209s though, all limit 1 each. They also had PMC Bronze .223, 1 to a customer, so I grabbed that too. SWMBO bought 'her' allotment of 1 of each also.

Last summer 4 of us looked into splitting a pallet of the Scheels made by Fiocchi shells. Couldn't get them down to $55 a flat they wanted closer to $60 a flat so we passed. That $60 a flat is looking pretty good right now.

Scheels here in town did get a pallet of 12 ga. in last month but it went in a couple of hours. No limit on shotgun ammo at this one. But all they have on the shelves is 28 ga. Almost enough to make me go out and finally buy a 28 ga. But then I would need another MEC 9000.

Couple of weeks ago they got in a good sized shipment of shot, was $44.95 a bag. I took 10 bags

Dogs like it when I go there usually pick up some more bumpers for them. I also got a flat tire on the way there when I picked up a roofing nail when I stopped at the County dump.

That was the first Scheel's I had ever been in. Drove up there to pick up a MEC 9000G from Gander when they were blowing them out and MEC was moving to the 200 primer tray MEC 9000GN. Paid $275 for it IIRC. Scheel's had a wooden bin on the floor full of shot for $9.99 a bag and it had just started creeping up to $12 a bag at most places. I packed the Ex Wife's Honda CRV with more than half a ton of it. Could hardly make it up the bluffs on the River coming home. Couple of months later the bearings in the transmission went out in it. But I got that shot at $10 a bag LOL.
