Vista Outdoors price increase.

Vista Outdoors is increasing ammo prices across the boards starting April 1 2021. 3-15 percent increase. Just seen a YouTube video on it. Hope things don't get unaffordable like my other hobbies I have left because of costs.

Seems like it was destined to happen. Supply is low & demand is high. Time will tell if prices return to pre-pandemic, pre-election norms at some point.. I worry we are in for at least two years of this high price/scarcity situation. Depending on the results of the 2022 mid-term elections, maybe longer. I hope not.

There is no longer a benchmark for normal and we are years away from any variant of normal. Keep your powder dry Ladies and Gentleman.

What's everyone's feelings on all these people buying stuff and selling it for 5-10 times more then it cost because of the supply and demand? I really think these people have no morals kind of like a politician.

Perhaps Vista has an eye on the unpredictable future.

The dems sell more guns and ammo/components than can be manufactured just look back at the obama era it will take a change of president for it all to level out is my belief this is availability and price wise

VSTO was trading at $7.00 at the start of the pandemic. It was a good buy!

I hope they're stuck with it.

I hope they're stuck with it.

Sadly and tragically, I seriously doubt they will be.
For the last 14 months I personally have not been letting any 22lr ammo or reloading components I need or use I found or find at anything resembling a acceptable price going un bought.
And I have no intentions what so ever of re selling ANYTHING regardless of the profit factor.
Last purchase price of 9mm FMG was $14/50 OTC 3 days ago an increase of 100% from 18 months ago.
