The real shortage is in primers and powders. Airgunners are much less affected than powder burners. Try being a reloader during these times.
Surprisingly, firerams are in plentiful supply, but not what you shoot in them.
I looked at the air rifles on the shelf at the local Scheel's store, and they have sold a grand total of one Sig-Sauer MCX Virtus in the last several months, with five more on display, but this is Montana, not exactly an airgunner hangout. Airguns are displayed along a wall in a back hallway, away from the main guns and ammo section. Paintball equipment gets a more prominent display. There are as many cheap airguns for sale as there ever were, with the same selection of pellets and BB's.
Yea if you are a powder burner and did not stock up a long time ago with ammo and reloading supplies and not set for life... I feel for you.
Also if you shop around you can find stuff in stock. I was able to pick up an FX Impact M3 .25 Sniper and an FX Maverick .22 Compact. Both brand new.
