What stock number was it, and can we still order it at that price?Mike1951 wrote:I started searching for some more 7.62x39 when I heard about this last $50 jump that surprised most.
I found the Wolf Classic HP still unchanged at Sportsmans Guide when everything else Wolf had already increased.
So back on 11/12, I ordered 2000 at $185.22/1000.
Sure it's on backorder currently showing to ship 1/12/09. I may receive several more delayed notices. But as long as you are careful to reply to every notice they send you asking if you want to cancel, they will keep the order open and honor the price. They were shipping me Wolf for $121/1000 months later after it had gone up past $160.
The stock number I ordered was then removed from their web site.

Re: Cheap 7.62 at Academy
There must be someone that lurks these boards and works for Academy. If so, Please bring back the cheap ammo! Of course, these days, the 4.89 they charge for 20 rounds is looking pretty good considering I ordered 1000 rounds of Wolf hollow point from Ammoman on 17NOV for $249 and it wont be here till 1DEC. I check the UPS tracker each day, and its been sitting at UPS in Horsham, Pa since 22NOV. At least the shipping is free. Saved a whole $5 compared to Academy. Luckily, I dont have a pressing need for it.
I just wanted some HP for hogs, or I would have bought it at Academy.
I hear tell that Dicks Sporting Goods is having a half off sale on ammo Friday. I wish they had a store in Houston. Closest one to us is in Austin. Could be worth the trip though.

Re: Cheap 7.62 at Academy
Got two cases of it and shot up alot of it this weekend at Texas City. I didnt have any problems in my WASR. No duds, Fed and ejected well. My dad had a brand new WASR and had several FTE/FTF, but they were due to the fact that the AK needed some breaking in. Once we got all the cosmoline out of the chamber and cleaned up the piston, it ate them up like candy, so I blame the problems on the rifle and not the ammo. It does seem to have alot more laquer on the cases than the Wolf stuff. Didnt shoot dirty, and didnt notice any of the ammonia smell that others have mentioned. Shot typical AK groups. I like it, and plan on getting some more.
