I'm wondering if any of you guys in the Springs could tell me if any of the gunshops or sporting goods stores up there carry in stock:

PMC Moderator .22 lr subsonic
Aguilla SSS .22lr subsonic
CCI subsonic HP
Or, anything subsonic you have personally tried and liked..

I have had pretty good luck with the Remington subsonics for accuracy but I want to try some others before I buy a full brick. All I can find in Pueblo (when I can find .22lr at all) is the Rems.

I'm shooting a heavy barrell 10/22

Hmmm... The Wally world off of Eagleridge seldom has much of anything.

I do occasionally work in Trinidad, I'll have to stop in next time I'm down that way.

The small shop in Walsenberg always has lots of good target ammo like Eley and Lapua.

If you are in a bind, let me know. I have tons of 22 target ammo.

Picked up some at Wally I-25 and North Acadamy, also currently in stock at I-25 and Baptist, 6 miles north one the first location.

I also always see it at the Falcon WW.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I have close to 3000 rounds of Federal bulk pack for plinking and a fair amount of target ammo of various kinds, but I'm searching specifically for the subsonic varieties I mentioned. Has any one seen any of those for sale somewhere? I can order online, but I want to try a couple of boxes of each type first. Ideally, I would prefer to buy locally if I could just find a place in Pueblo or the Springs who carries any of the subsonic stuff I'm after.

Thanks again!

.

I've been in there once or twice. It is a remarkably well stocked shop for being in such a small town...

Can't think of the name though.

I could let ya buy a box of the Super Colibri to try. I am in the springs. It clocked right at 650 FPS out of my Marlin 80. I am in FL until friday but drop me a PM if ya want.

sorry, did not read that well. The Wally on Baptist and I-25 had REM and CI Subsonic last night, picked up some of the REM to test out.

The super colibris are waaay cool! I have burned through about five bricks since I first discovered them. I used them as an air rifle substitute when I lived in town.

I taught my oldest daughter how to shoot with them when we moved out to the sticks. I figured if she were to let one go wild it would be less dangerous than regular .22 lr.

My old neighborhood by the OTC in the Springs is haunted by the ghosts of many dead squirrels sent to the hereafter by Super Colibris....[Flower]

Cool! Thankyou! I'll see if my father in law can swing by and pick some up for me. He lives close by.. I appreciate the intel, thanks again!
