The benefits of other people's panic buying

**Asmodeus** · January 17th, 2013, 08:29 PM

First time around I put up on Gunbroker a Mini-14 Target that I had gotten very inexpensively as a used, unfired gun. Listed it with no reserve.

It sold for enough to allow me to get these last week...

A new Canon G15 and a Canon refurb 7D body.

Quick snapshot taken by my 5DM2 with 24-70L

This time, a box of first gen Pmags I found while cleaning out my storage locker last week,

Ruger 22/45 LITE and a Canon EF 135 f/2.0L

I'm pretty sure the wave has crested, but if ammo stays as high as it seems to be going I might be tempted to let a box or 10 of Wolf 75 gr go

You're gonna love that 7D.

Fricken sweet! How do you like the Ruger lite? I can't decide between that one or just a plain 22/45 threaded with sights, or the 22/45 threaded flattop. I think the lite looks awesome but whenever I get something stylized like that I often regret it down the road.

I don't think that the wave has crested. If you look at GB, prices are starting to go nuts again!!!!

Looks and shoots great with my Outback suppressor on it. I need to take it to the range with my other two suppressed 22s (P22 and Mousquito) and do a direct comparison.

It won't crest until stock gets back to normal levels, and I don't think that will happen any time soon. I think prices will rise in the coming weeks, especially on AR's and the like.

+1, especially if you plan on shooting video with it. For still work I think you're probably set with the MKII. That 135 is boss. The prime L series lenses are incredible.

Canon household here too.

I paid my phone bill with a Tapco 30rounder I was never going to use.

I've shot a lot of video with the 5DM2 for client web presentations. By the time it gets to a format that anybody can download any HQ issues are long gone
