Thanks for the heads-up. At that price I'll save $8.00 a brick compared to what I normally pay. Ordered a case today and they apparently still have it on hand. Happy shooting!

I'll probably regret not buying every case they had, but....

I just got the same note Jason.... almost sounds like it was a lost leader type ad

UPDATE: Got shipping notification on one of the two orders I sent, so I am getting at least one case of those I ordered.... so I guess they had some on hand and it wasn't a hoax

Members of this forum alone probably ordered a train car load, so it's no surprise they ran out - and I'm betting there were others!

I just got the same e-mail as Jason. Oh well, as long as they didn't pull the funds from the bank!

Ditto for me. I guess it actually WAS too good to be true.

I emailed them back in response to them asking where I heard of their special. I let them know that SteelChickens was the place for silhouette shooting and they should talk to the webmasters about posting their specials and such here, so hopefully they'll be sponsors soon. I also told them to not post specials like that on here unless they were ready for a LOT of sales. Just from the posts here and others I sent there from hearing about it here, I'm betting there were in excess of 30 cases ordered and I doubt I know about even a quarter of it.

And I heard about it from the Rimfire forum site when I posted it here.... Guess we all got in a little late. However, like I said my first order for one case, did ship today and will be here Friday... Serves me right for waiting to check with the wife before ordering a bunch...

After checking prices at various places on the net today I think I may have to sell my rifle in order to buy some ammo. I feel like something might be flawed with this plan...just can't pin it down.

Had the same thought... Or a variant - "I can buy ammunition or gas to get to the range..."

Well I did get my one case today at the advertised price... man I wish they had more of it, for all of us of course.

I too, on my rejection, told them to become a sponser here and advertise any future specials.

Thanks BlauBear you just reminded me that I can use that reasoning with the wife for excessive ammo purchases in the future. But honey I shoot at home and gas alone to the range and back is almost $15 a trip in the truck :D

With ammo prices going up I bet we see it listed as loss leader teasers more and more.
