    There's usually about 3,000 people waiting at the door for them to open. Within minutes all four pallets of .22lr is gone. It's usually 2,000 round bundles sold with an ammo can for $5.95.

    But then again, I'm at work on Tuesday mornings, how would I know?

    Maybe try calling them. I've usually been able to get someone who takes the time to find what I am looking for whenever I would call them. Never once have I felt rushed off the phone. Good luck.

    It is hit or miss as far as exactly what they have and how much they have. Sometimes they have none.
    Typically they will have 50 rd boxes and limit is two per customer but sometimes they will have higher quantity packages which will be limited to one per customer.
    When I do go I try to get there right at 9:00 or a few minutes after since it isn't any advantage to being 1st in line.
    Usually about 7-10 people in line specifically for .22 ammo.
    IMO calling gets you inaccurate info.

    .22lr is not that difficult to find. Just have to know how to get it. I have never stood in line or waited for a store to open to get ammo. I can go right down the street and get it any time I want now even.

    not broadcasting this anymore. the search button and a bit of time will net you the answer.

    I am confused...I just searched for "cabelas", "cabelas 22", and "cabelas 22lr", and the first 3 pages of results turned up no revelation that I could find that is relevant to cabelas stocking of 22lr...maybe I'm dense, but could you please either chunk out a link or PM me what you're referring to? I see stuff for other stores, but not cabelas...

    Cabelas does get deliveries on Tuesdays accordind to the sales people. I've stopped by around lunch time or after work on some days and have seen it on the shelf (where the knives are). But, every week is different so i don't know how you could plan to be there in order to 'guarantee' there would be some stock. Most of the time I see the 50 round boxes of Blazer, but I have seen the bricks of Remington (not seen any of the 525 boxes in a long time there).
