i was gonna go shooting today since i havent gone in like over a year but fuckin everywhere is sold out of ammo. idk if its cause of black friday (which i forgot about) or if ppl are still panic buying cause of the election/lockdowns or what. i only have a shotgun and a glock so i just needed some 9mm and 12 gauge but couldnt get any. mostly just wanted to shoot some clay pigeons and have fun but oh well
There must be a lot of private individuals sitting on huge stockpiles.
To even out the supply fluctuations I keep ~5,000 .22 and 5,000 primers at any one time which, isn't really a lot.

I've done both. Bows are a different experience. It's not loud, it doesn't stink, it's inexpensive compared to new ammunition or reloading costs, and people aren't pointing their guns in your direction while trying to clear a jam.

I've been on a walkthrough trail with targets arranged in safe directions. More of a chill activity if you've got a compound bow, since it requires less effort to keep those at a full draw than the absolute workout traditional can turn into if you've got a hefty draw.

AFAIK there's no national shortage of arrows, so people like macbeth who are getting ready for the zombie apocalypse could stock up with a weapon that won't attract a horde.

e: IMO it's more satisfying to land an arrow 20-30 yards downrange than to rifle a bullseye at greater distances. I'm with you on shooting clay though, best time I've had with guns.

I'd wager it's still election scaremongering-related. Saw something about how Kamala is gonna be coming fer yer guns so y'all better stock up now and the rubes duly lined up to clear out the shelves. The industry execs are crying from laughter and dabbing at their tears with hundred dollar bills.

I seem to remember a similar run on supplies when Obama won.

I could be patriotic and buy a ready made Lithgow LA105 with a KRG stock - not sure about the stock though yet, I'll have to try it for fit, at least it looks like a long range rifle, not some gear queers AR15 accessory fantasy.

Or could go for a Tikka T3 and get the stock later.

Next question - Old school .308 or 6.5mm and wear the shorter barrel life. I'm going to need to reread the rules on the matches I may want to shoot.

Not really superkeen on the stocks with the cross-bar above the thumb, I think I might make a rifle with a KRG Bravo stock.

Prob a Tikka T3 heavy barrel plus the above stock, a T3 Tactical probably makes more sense but they look a bit too much like a gun-nut rifle.

Most likely in .308 so I can shoot the .308/7.62 matches.

imagine being so constipated that you can't enjoy something without having to make a hipster joke.

like hipsters and gun enthusiasts overlap on any venn diagram, anywhere, in any regard.

famously, pitchfork-reading indie hipsters from brooklyns love gun culture.

that's got to be an ironic appropriation of the term 'hipster'.

conservative boomers like dilbert append 'hipster' to everything now, as a term of opprobrium it stopped being even basically diagnostically relevant around 2013.

Aren't ironic appropriations a part of that (hipster) stereotype?

the guy doesn't look like, resemble, or behave like a hipster in any way.

you haven't correctly used this stereotype in about 10 years on this forum.

it's really weird that you keep using these 'gotcha!' buzzwords whilst looking like a 'how do i open PDF?' boomer.

apparently being a completely regular middle-aged guy with renaissance fayre facial hair, wearing a casual shirt, makes you a 'hipster'.

dilbert clearly has his finger right on the pulse of youth culture and the zeitgeist.

the guy is literally a nerd. he is a gun enthusiast who runs a nerdy hobby channel and dresses exactly like someone who doesn't think very much about fashion. doesn't evince anything similar to the hipster stereotype at all, not in look or social cachet or attitude. hipsters are meant to be ironic and 'meta': this guy is straight-up passionate about his hobby. where's the fucking hipster aspect?? lmao.

dilbert you really need to spend some time in society around actual people. you are quite literally clueless and without a compass.

At least we got uziq to take an interest in the gun thread.

I think I've settled on the Lithgow LA102 or LA105, just depends how much money I want to spend and which category to compete.

I looked at everything and was thinking about Tikkas but the standard barrel is too light for .308 and the Varmint too front heavy.

Since I live in dense mixed use apartment building now, is it a good time to invest in an AR-15 for home defense?

Why do you troll? But if serious, you don't have to have a AR-15 for home defense, it just is an option. Go with what suits you best.
