Thread: The Great NZ .22 Ammo famine..

Hey , Down to my last 2 boxes of CCI subs . Got up early and went for a drive to Otaki H and F . Fiocchi .22 and that was it , got home rang Palmy and The hutt same answer . Rang Guncity ..same.
Going to be a lot of lucky critters around this spring.

Bow and arrows.

Only a matter of time, seen a few posts saying various firearms are getting difficult to purchase.

Wholesalers are suffering from lack of supply orders are back logged.

Christchurch Gun City still showing "high" stock levels of 1x500rds CCI subsonic.

@Madmax same iss in Hamilton, however the Fiochi is supposed madenin the CCI factory. Purchased a 500round brick of the 22 Subs. Same point of impact! Worth a try!

@Ryan it is false advertising! I went into local as per the website, they took me straight to the Fiochi stuff and said it was the same.

Just go to your local Farmlands/PGG Wrightson. They always have bricks in stock, cheaper than the chain stores too

kiwi-adam where is your Fiocchi made? Italy, Mexico (Aguila) or USA?

I had some Mex Fiocchi subs and they were the most accurate susonic ammo I have ever used. Would love to find some more.

Good thinking Ryan, forgot about Farmlands.

Only found this out on Wednesday at GC Hamilton. I was lucky to source a couple of boxes in Te Awamutu. I doubt there’d be any now...

Rivers to ranges had heaps of .22 CCI in store today at Rangiora just bought a 100 brick this morning. But only 3 boxes of Federal fusion 22.250 ammo on the shelf, they said they have had a bit of a run on lately of 22.250. I was in to collect my Savage 22.250 that has just had a gunworks suppressor fitted. Can't test it until probably next weekend though.

O'rourkes in Pleasant point always seem to have plenty of 22 250. Not much use to you i know but worth mentioning

And my mates question why I hold so much excessive stock - You can NEVER have to much on hand...

Went to the range today and shot off ~150 rounds.
Did a stock check when I got home and down to 8800 rounds.
Need to watch my usage
