We were getting ready this last fall to head out hunting, and I started asking my hunting buddies about their gear. A few of them have the same rifles they have used for many seasons- their tried and true hunting rifles. A few friends like to change it up as they are in search of the best firearm for each situation.
As we chatted, it became clear that despite having an older rifle or a brand new one, the one thing that everyone can’t get enough of is new firearm parts. The ones with older rifles had no problem maintaining their guns, but preferred to try out new scopes, grips, cases, etc. Some even opt to switch out the trigger assemblies and firing pins themselves to keep their guns performing their best.
Depending on where you live and what you like to hunt, the seasons will always be unique and call for different gear. Lucky for us, we have immediate access to online stores like R&B Arms where we can grab new gun parts, or order some customization for our rifles- either Cerakote or Stippling depending on your tastes.
One thing that is incredibly hard to get a hold of just about anywhere though is ammunition. Supply chain issues, local policies, and consumers stocking up as much as they can has led to some calibers being nearly impossible to find, and some limitations on what you can buy if you do find the right caliber.
In preparation for the upcoming hunting season, I’m telling my friends to buy a box or two at a time over the next few months to make sure we all have what we need. Because, if we don’t have ammunition, we can’t go hunting at all, even with the best gear.
Maybe this year we’ll get lucky and most of the issues we’ve seen over the last times we went hunting will be solved and everyone can buy what they need without limitations. Some of my buddies have been out of luck in the past, but we’re always stocked up and ready to go. I mentioned R&B Arms USA, which is one of my favorite online shops. They just announced their new ammo list and they are helping people find and get the ammo they need by announcing their new shipments. I’m telling everyone I know to go jump on their ammo list.
I hope you and your group are prepared for next hunting season! If you will be joining our hunt group, it would be greatI’d love to hear more about the equipment you are using. Happy hunting season!
