I just about fell over seeing that much .22 and at good prices too. Got one of each and my coworker went after work and they still had all 4 kinds in stock (and had restocked the Automatch from when I took the picture).

Wonder if this is a sign of things to come or I stumbled upon a magic unicorn.


The Lakeville FF limits you to one box of .22 per day, not one of each.

That's not true. On Saturday, I picked up a 100-round box of CCI Mini-mags (40 gr solids), and a 50-round box of Federal Champions (40 gr solids, IIRC) on the same ticket.
I had to go back later in the day, and picked up another box of the Federals and a 100-round box of 36 gr hollow-point Mini-mags, too.

Yesterday I went up to the register with a 100rd box of CCI, a 325 box of whatever, and a 50 rd box. All different products. The guy at the checkout said only one box of .22lr. I pointed out that I only had one box of each product. He asked the front desk manager, who said one box. I asked her to check with the sporting goods desk. Word came back: Only 1 box of .22lr - not one of each brand or type or product. I pointed out that the signs in the ammo department were on a product-by-product basis, and did not say only one .22lr product purchase per day. No luck.

If you got through with more than one box of .22lr either your cashier didn't know what their policy was or my cashier, the cashier at the next lane over, the front desk, and the sporting goods desk didn't know what their policy was. I'm guessing it's the former.

Cashiers. I had to go back later in the day, and picked up another 50-pack and a 100-pack of CCI HPs. However, IIRC, they consider anything 100 rounds or over a "bulk" pack, and that may be where you ran afoul of the rule, as they limit you to one bulk pack per visit.

I was debating with the guy drooling over the ammo with me that the sign appeared to me indicate one box per each product so he went and asked the sporting goods counter person and they said it was indeed one per product and the cashier at the front of the store didn't even bat an eye with my 4 different boxes of .22 at check out nor did the cashier that checked out my coworker later in the day . Sucks that they have different rules for different stores. Individual store mangers must get to make policy on that.

Prior to this lucky trip of plenty, a policy of one box of .22 or a policy of one of each type would have gotten me the exact same result.........one box of .22!

Was at FF in Brooklyn park today around high noon. An employee was stocking the shelf with a bunch Mini-Mags... (36gr and 40gr), CCI Stingers and Winchester 100 round slides. His stock cart was still half full, but I didn't hang around long to see what else he was stocking. Anyways, $7.49 for a slide of Mini's is a great price these days.

Still quite a few when I was there at 6:00 last night too. Wife was with me so got two (she will probably be shooting both anyways). Cashier made me pay for them separately which was a minor annoyance.
