Shooting is pretty cheap compared to other hobbies. A diesel and a toy hauler alone is more than a lifetime of shooting for most people.
I looked at Hodgdon's site this morning and they have already raised their prices 30% since November.I got an email today from Drifters that Hodgdon is going up 11-35% this year.
I agree on this. The sale is for 5x fiscal year 2024 EBITDA, per Vista website. Under those sale terms, I'd be inclined to think that cranking those prices through the roof right now will net the Vista sellers a tidy profit. Figure every dollar added to bottom line x 5.How did we get screwed by the Czechs?…. We got screwed by Vista Outdoors selling to the Czech's

So what your saying is if they cant sell it they will still raise the price?Some people blame the people that are buying powder and primers now as the reason why prices remain high.
No. What i actually said was that if you need it, buy it. If you think you need it, buy it. If you think you will need some down the road and it will not be available, buy it.So what your saying is if they cant sell it they will still raise the price?
I get what your saying and one major supplier says the prices are definitely going up Monday whether we like it or not.No. What i actually said was that if you need it, buy it. If you think you need it, buy it. If you think you will need some down the road and it will not be available, buy it.
You might want to even buy some while these prices are this low. You get what I'm saying now?
You get what I'm saying, the more the willingness to pay the prices the more they will go up.No. What i actually said was that if you need it, buy it. If you think you need it, buy it. If you think you will need some down the road and it will not be available, buy it.

I get what your saying, but if you're on the fence about buying cause of prices, then you really dont have anything to worry about. If availability is your concern, you have something to worry about.You get what I'm saying, the more the willingness to pay the prices the more they will go up.
Do you think the Czechs would have bought Vista if there wasn't alot of profit?
Sleepy Joe, Putin, ukraine, or Vista didn't put a gun to anybodys head and have them pull out there credit card and hit the buy button
All by design, I'm sure.How did we get screwed by the Czechs?…. We got screwed by Vista Outdoors selling to the Czech's

Maybe you have forgotten I don’t know but I remember that as well!…. Most or shall I say many of you call this hoarding!… I do not!… my Father and I was running a small cattle ranch back then we also bought as much as we could at the inflated prices,…. Why?…. Because on tv we could see the mile long lines getting fuel and gas station after gas station with closed signs!… I don’t expect to die tomorrow but I have insurance in case I do and that’s what buying up fuel was all about,.. insurance!… we was dead in the water without fuel, we hadn’t farmed with horses for 25 years so all the harness and horses were gone so we needed fuel. We never regretted buying it and I did it again when Obammy took office along with $1000’s of dollars worth of reloading supplies and again after Trump took office. My gamble “insurance “ paid off as I’m setting good on shooting but I continue to buy when I see an opportunity. I have enough flour beans and rice to feed an army, at some point it will go bad and I’ll have to replace it as I’ve done already a few times,… “insurance “ I don’t like the idea of being hungry!….I have what I need bought before high price so I’m not buying at these prices. So I’m not the one running the prices up. I remember way back when think the 70’s when we had the gas shortage people where filling every container they had with the high (back then) price gas. After the price went down they were still using the gas they paid high prices for and others were paying less at the pump. just my $0.02
But if there is a date or prediction you have in mind when this shortage will end, then share it... just give me a year. My take... this is unprecedented
Not a prude but needing an education. Buy a top spring air rifle. Learning curve requires work .I don’t want to sound like a Prude, but I lost interest in air guns at age fourteen.
