:p Went back to Dick's to check on ammo the other day. Wilkes-Barre Pa. they still have a b-mag on the rack after a month. Talked to the guy at the counter, asked him how many they have sold? He said this was still the same 1 . They have it marked at 349.99 . They don't have any ammo for it, they had some awhile back but I bought it. I got 3 boxes of 20 grain about a week ago at a Wal-Mart in Hazleton. I also got a b-mag from that same Wal-Mart for 297.00 about 2 months ago.
Well, $349 is full MRSP for the B-Mag so it's not surprising it's still there. Dicks is not noted for bargain prices.
How expensive is the ammo for these rifles?
14 to 20 bucks for 50 rounds at local retailers.
That's got to be an inhibitor too. Commercial centerfire handgun ammo is about the same price and reloads for many centerfire rifles, particularly the smaller 22's, like the Hornet and .223 can be less than that.Quote:

The bad stock reviews should keep most people from buying this POS. I will post video when I throw mine in the lake.
I hope just the stock is going in the lake when you find a replacement.......
Yes, just the stock. Weighted with a sandbag.Quote:

Can't wait for the video.
My area Dicks Sporting will match prices of other area stores,but you have to ask them and show add.Mine came from there for $259.plus tax.Quote:

Hoping maybe Savage will scrap the B-Mag and come out with a good 17WSM <fingers crossed> before it becomes the new 5mm Rem.
Hey danjurista.
You are a NEPA guy too? How do you like the 17 wsm? Just ordered a hog hunter from Piestraks, should be in this week.
I still would like to see a .22 super mag yet, maybe that would of worked out better ???
What case would that come in?Quote:

I would like that also as I am restricted to rimfire (or shotgun) for night varmints. As far as working out better I don't think a differance in caliber would give any differant results considering problems that are occuring seem to revolve around either quality control issues on the ammo line (which I would suspect may be first run gremlins that hopefully will get worked out) or design flaws in the bMag which are just bad no matter what caliber you shoot through it.Quote:
