.17Mach2 ammo availability and price check...
« on: January 01, 2010, 07:54:09 PM »
I've become interested in the Mach 2 once again and am wondering how available ammo seems to be currently and what the price is?  Have you run across any ammo locally and how much is it going for in .17M2?

Thanks! :)

$4.99 when it's on sale, regular $5.99. RFC has ammo forums that usually list the latest best sources online.

I have been looking for this for over a year!!  No one around here seems to carry it or I am a day late and a dollar short...  I have been shooting the CCI and the REMINGTON with excellent success. I really do not think I will find it anymore accurate, but would still like to try some..

I was in a couple stores yesterday and all had CCI and or REMINGTON 17M2 in stock. ALL less than 9.99 a box of 50pcs.

Thanks for the price checks guys, it's appreciated! 

I did see some locally today, nothing less than $8/50. :( 

Since my .22WMR Handi likes Win. Dynapoints too, I can shoot them for $7.77 plus tax from Walmart just as cheaply.  I guess I'll just keep plugging away buying .22WMR ammo! :)

 I picked up 4 boxes over the weekend from Cabelas. (They had most of a case of each on the shelf) Everything they had was 8.99 a box. CCI, Hornady and Remington, IIRC. I bought Hornady as its what I already had, so should shoot near the same.
