scallopdiver Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 hello to all can any of the ulstermen who use this forum tell me where i can get 22 winchester subs in northern ireland? i have been trying to get some for ages with no luck and have tried eley[no power,too many runners]and cci[plenty of power,not accurate] i would be willing to drive anywhere in N.I. to get a supply,my ruger 77\22 desperately needs your help!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 You might struggle. I'm led to believe that there is a worldwide shortage of these due to winchester concentrating on the military market at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would change brands if i could get something as accurate and hard hitting as the winnie Anyway thanks for the reply and look forward to hearing from you again :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDavey Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sorry for not being quick on the uptake but does anyone know WHY Winchester can not produce enough ammo ?? I've heard fishermans tales as to why but I'd like to know Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Very true about the winchester subs, their the best in my opoinion, as the elys arent half as hard hitting as the winy subs. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Not that it really helps you guys because of the distance but one of the RFD in my area just took delivery of 10,000 Win Subs, so they must be able to get them from somewhere.
