Academy gets random shipments. I went there this morning and watched 15 people stand in the cold for 20 minutes and who knows how long they were there before I arrived. All that wait for the usual Independence 5.56 for $9.99, some .308 Razorback, some .308 from Remington, and about 8 boxes of 7.62x54r. Four choices. Last week they got in a ton of stuff in .22, 9mm, .40, .45, .223, 5.56, 7.62x39/51/54r, .308. Go figure.
They just received 3 AR's that no one was buying...kinda weird. They also had a $10k .50-cal bolt action rifle on display.
And then there was this one drum at the front entrance. Federal 7.62x51 (.308) for $6,500! There are "only" 7,500 rounds in that drum for that much money. $.87/round isn't terrible for .308 I guess...if you want to drop $6,500 all at once. At one time Academy had 12,000-round drums of Federal .223 for $5k.
Come to think of it, this was among the strangest visits to Academy I have had yet.
