I don’t know how many times I go to Walmart each week, but it seems to be a lot. And every time I go I make it a point to check on the availability of 22LR ammunition. Normally, the sales clerk looks at me like I’m nuts and gives me the predictable news that they have no 22LR in stock. Well, not today! Today the pride-filled clerk informed me that he had a few boxes. And they weren’t even the small 50 round boxes. These beauties contain 525 rounds! Of course, they limited me to buying one box.
My son and I were so shocked to find 22LR ammunition at Walmart that he felt it necessary to celebrate with some Ruger 10/22 artwork. The above photo is a Remington 22 Golden Bullet outline of the Ruger 10/22 Carbine Model 1256 and Ruger BX-25 Magazine. The “canvas” used is the USGMC Magnetic Gun Mat.
In case you were wondering, it took 351 rounds of 22LR to make the outline.
Now that we have a little 22LR on hand, we’ll get this Ruger 10/22 rifle back to the range!
