A big score, for me that is. The wife and I had lunch across the lake the other day. To exit the parking lot the right only turn puts you into the larger shopping strip and after a u turn will take you to the I-10 and back home. Well the first store in that large strip mall is an Academy. So the wife says "you wanna try this one for your 22s". I had been to every Academy in the area, even this one, many times for some 22s with no luck and I was tired of wasting time for no gain. But, I pigged out at lunch and felt the walk through the store would count for time off the tread mill when I got back home. To my surprise, there on the counter at customer service, were 10 boxes of 500 rounds.
The line was long and I kept an eye on the boxes. The clerk said only one box per person so I was sure to get one. Another register opened and the first person asked for one box. There were two other people in that line so I began to worry. When I could, I jumped in that line and gained my reward. I made it to the truck like I had scored a brick of gold and told the wife to go in and get another box. She got in line and scored her box of gold with only one more box left on the shelf. It may seem that 1000 rounds is no big deal but it was 5 years since my last batch of 22s so this felt like a big score to me.
