…from Sportsman’s Warehouse (today only, apparently). A couple samples:
And something else quite tasty — at what looks like late 1990s pricing:
Yer all welcome.

Yeah, we can buy Aguila, too.
Bit more expensive than yours, though, even allowing for the exchange rate. (~AUD$1.00 = USD$0.75)

Ugh, 6 cents a pop for .22 LR being touted as a good deal. Sigh. My benchmark price for .22 LR was set back when getting a brick of Winchester Wildcat at ½¢ a round was a standard Christmas present.
“Back in my day I could buy a box of .22 ammo for a quarter!”
“Ok, grandpa. Let’s get your pills and lay down for a nice nap.”
Those “sale” prices are the price charged for a Henry around here everyday. I hear a lot of mixed reviews on the Henry rifles. They sure look nice though.
In regards to ammunition, it doesn’t expire like milk. The prices are not going back down to here they were ten years ago etc. Next year is the election year so things will get more funny. If you see it on the shelf today, it likely will not be on the shelf when you go back to the store. Buy what you need this year and next then try to keep a year ahead of your needs. Just yesterday I saw a guy buy a case of 25 boxes of buckshot at $5 per box. He’s ready to help someone find out after they fuck around.

Went to the range a couple of days ago with a buddy that wanted to zero his 45-70 at 100 yards, every shot was followed by a loud “ouch” or expletive.
Now, we are both pushing 70 so that will be our excuse. 😛
I’ve been shooting a 45-70 in long range black powder cartridge rifle matches for some time. The rifle is a 1885 Winchester Hi Wall with a heavy, and I do mean _heavy_ barrel. I’m shooting 490 grain cast bullets over 65 grains of black powder. Targets range from 200 to 1000 yards, sights are iron. A typical match fired over the course of a day is 88 rounds. The rifle is equipped with a mercury recoil reducer in the stock and a slip on rubber buttpad. Firing from sitting with the rifle supported on crossed sticks is reasonably comfortable, and I go home at the end of the day a lot less beat up than I usually am from a couple rounds of skeet with a 12 gauge. I will admit that I shot that rifle _once_ in shirtsleeves without the buttpad and never made that mistake again.
If you go out to shoot your buddy’s 45-70 again, from a bench, get yourself a bag of shot and put it between your shoulder and the rifle. Worked for me with a .375 H&H long ago.
