    Let's do an experiment. Let's say you are going to a local sporting goods store and are taking $100 cash, what would you buy? Sunday, January 19th my wife and I are going to Academy Sports and Outdoors in Lufkin, Texas. Yes, I am taking $100 cash to spend. I am thinking about spending my...

    At least the ones in my area. It sure took them a long time. The cases had been packed for months since they said they were going to stop all handgun and 'military' ammo. Federal .223 or Winchester 5.56 25 cents a round. I picked up JHP 240 gr. .44 Mag for $30 for 50. (White box) and...
  3. Firearms General Discussion
    First thing someone is going to ask, "Why spend more on 22 long rifle than you have to?" The simple answer, I do not like buying junk. I am willing to pay a few dollars more for reliability and accuracy. My top brands: CCI Federal For general target practice, Remington golden bullet For...

    How viable would an MP5 clone in 22 long rifle be for a SHTF / TEOTWAWKI event? What makes an MP5 clone in 22 long rifle different than any other 22 rifle? Weight, cost, sight radius... etc. For example, with a Walther MP5 clone in 22 long rifle, you are going to spend at least $300, probably...

    What are you doing to prep for Nov 2020? Getting any new toys that may be restricted? Preparing for a downturn of the economy? Growing your faith? Drawing your line in the sand and preparing mentally?

    Does anyone think an MP5 clone chambered in 22 long rifle would have a role in a SHTF / Doomsday event? Awhile back I did some horse trading and ended up with a Walther MP5 clone in 22 long rifle. I am sure if loaded with something like CCI stingers the MP5 clone would do its job quit well. I...

    I am looking for some information for an article. How plentiful is 22 long rifle in your area? Please take a second to vote. Local walmart has shelves full of 22 long rifle; this is everything from Remington thunderbolt, to Winchester, to CCI, to Federal. For the first time in a long time...

    So my plan for hunting small game in a SHTF scenario was to use my .223 and go for headshots on bunnies and squirrels, which obviously isn't ideal. I also have a 9mm. Also not ideal. Those calibers will both decimate game that small, and they're also extremely loud, which in a WROL situation is...

    From a prepping point of view, should "buy cheap and stack deep" apply to 22 long rifle? What kind of accuracy could we expect to see between cheap and expensive 22 long rifle? I decided to put those questions to a test at a local sand pit. My oldest son brought his new Remington model 597...

    What are your economic indicators? In other words, how do you determine if the general public is worried about uncertain times? Besides all the information the government publishes, I use three indicators. The local feed and fertilizer / farm supply store On Friday, May 22nd I was at Circle...

    The shelves are empty, except for a few select calibers. Those calibers are 243 Winchester, 30-30 Winchester, 270 Winchester, 7mm magnum, 45 colt and 30-06 Springfield. A line of people are standing at the counter in the hopes the store got a shipment in. Sounds like something from a movie...

    Some kind of new disease has broke out, society has collapsed and no more trucks are rolling. Over the following weeks the power goes out, the water stops running, people stop driving their cars and trucks, friends, neighbors and strangers come around begging for food. The food preps are...

    I was recently approached by a co-worker who is having some financial problems. She is looking to sell a couple of guns that belonged to her husband and asked me if I would be interested. She has the following: Pre-ban Norico AK-47 with the side folding stock, 3 mags, bayonet and case. Ruger...

    Lets say that some kind of SHTF situation happens tonight, how ready is your ammunition stockpile? Whether its nuclear war, plague, disease outbreak, collapse of the dollar,,,, something happens to disrupt society. What kind of ammunition do you have stockpiled to hunt and protect your...
  15. Firearms General Discussion
    Some kind of worse case situation has happened, you and your family have to bug out to the Bug Out Location, and how what? Keep in mind, this is a worse case situation, meaning you did not have time to grab any gear from your home. The only gear you have, is the gear you have stored at the...
  16. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    While stockpiling survival gear for a long term SHTF / TEOTWAWKI situation, I think it is important to pause, review, and then move forward. It does no good to stockpile the same thing over and over, while overlooking other essential preps. The changing of the seasons, a new year, or every 3 –...
  17. Firearms General Discussion
    While reviewing my 22 long rifle stockpile last night, I realized that I am mostly buying 2 brand names - Federal and 1 box of Winchester. The next couple of bricks I buy will probably be Remington and a box of Winchester. How my preps are setup @ 75% of my ammunition at stored at home. @ 25%...

    This looks like it would be the perfect choice for campers, hikers, fishermen or anyone looking for a lightweight rimfire handgun (22.8 ounces) http://www.ruger.com/products/2245Lite/models.html MSRP of $469 is kind of steep.. I'm sure it will be available for much cheaper than that...
