    Well hello, this kind of CRAP may set back the CMPicon, marksmanship practice and gun ownership back decades IF anyone pays any attention to it. Very unlikely.

    Hillbillyrickey is the type that will cry, kick his feet and yell to the high hevan when they come for HIS guns. This kind of knee-jerk reaction is the kind of stuff that gun grabbers live for.

    Maintain a low profile wherever possible.

    Hillbilly I feel sad for you man, real sad.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    funnier still / because there is no up front cost what so ever.

    .

    but its kind of disturbing to see how this place is in lynch mob mode now.

    like the political forum, now there's no room for deviation from your orthodoxy here?

    Speaking for myself, such a substantial increase is hardly welcome. In the past I've allowed myself the luxury of shooting the CMPicon short course 4 times a week, leading up to a match. Even one short course a week; 30 rounds, equals 1500 rds. a year. Any meaningful practice schedule is certainly going to cost you, big time. Well, it had to end sometime. At these prices you may question the wisdom of stocking up much more, as so many ranges are banning FMJ's. And these attract a magnet!

    Rick, quit buying from them and there will be more for me when I order. That will teach those dirty crooks at CMPicon to try to steal your hard-earned money.

    Tricky Ricky forgot to mention his military service, maybe he's just a wannabe.

    I already have 480 rds at the older price coming and had been dragging my feet about ordering more when the price increase hit. I don't like the increase but It's still the best thing going. They probably raised the price to slow down sales and make the ammo last a little longer (plus make a little more dough). What they did is common sense when you are getting orders in too fast to fill and you are 100 days out on your orders.

    To the OP:

    First, take a pill....you aren't exactly talking lucidly!

    Second, NO vendor is obligated to provide you with a product at a price that YOU think is "fair". They ARE obligated to sell at the MAXIMUM price that the market will support, otherwise, they are either a charity or a pack of fools. ANY business model that ISN'T based on "All the traffic will bear!", is one doomed to fail.

    Third, if you don't like the price for a product....don't buy it! If, as you say, you can buy commercial ammo at a lower price (yeah....like THAT is an actual reality!), by all means do so....but for everyone's sake, vote with your money instead of your mouth! The market sets the price, not the CMPicon! When the pickup-trucks quit backing up to the dock over at Camp Perry to load that crap by the ton...then the price will fall; if they don't, it won't...it's just that damn simple! Supply and demand! The higher demand, the higher the price: Business & Marketing 101!

    Fourth, how in Hades can people in this society reach chronological adulthood without (apparently) understanding the most basic economics? DOH!...a majority elected the New Messiah as President....so why am I surprised....Oh, my poor country!
