I ordered a case of Wolf 7.62x39 HP Ammo from Centerfire Systems on Friday last. I received it yesterday as promised. The contents of the carton were exactly what I ordered plus an invoice. They had a great price on the ammo compared to other places currently selling it. A+++ for Centerfire Systems.

Centerfire Systems
I am impressed so far by Centerfire Systems. I placed an order with them today and within an hour of placing the order received the UPS tracking number which meant they had told UPS my package was ready for pickup. A few moments ago, in the middle of a fit of relentless insomnia (what do you think I am doing up at 2:29 AM) I checked the tracking number and the package is already in transit on its way to me. What did I order? I ordered a case (1,000 rounds) of Wolf 7.62x39 122 grain JHP ammunition. In my last post I promised I would do just that if they had it in stock - and yes they had it in stock - they said they had exactly one case remaining - that is until I ordered it.
I have ordered from them before, but I don't think I ordered any ammo from them. I was not all that pleased with my last order but through no fault of Centerfire Systems, it was the product requiring tooling/fitting that unsettled me a bit. If I remember right, Centerfire Systems shipped promptly back then too. If I had to fault them for anything it would be that they did not advertise that the scope/scope mount kit, for an SKS, that I bought from them back then required metal fitting. I am not faulting them though, I should have realized it would be required. As it is right now though, I am quite happy with them. I will be happier yet when the box arrives and it contains what I ordered in good condition.
When the case of ammo does arrive, my guess is that it will put us at about three or 4 thousand rounds of this ammo on hand. That should be it for ordering any more of it for awhile - unless of course it goes down in price again by a considerable amount. Something tells me though that it is never returning to the approximate $175 (plus shipping of about $19) per case that it was about a year and a half to two years ago. Then again while I hope it does return to those lower prices I also hope it never again comes close to the price that it was listed on CheaperThanDirt.com several months ago when it was advertised at $399 and change for a case of Wolf Military Classic. I got this case for $249.99 shipped. A considerable savings over prices on the same stuff as currently offered by other online retailers, much less than I could get it at a gun shop, and much - much - much less than it would have been in about January 2009.

How Could I Resist - It Was A Package Deal
Yes I am short on funds, yes I am trying to save up for a new gun, yes I have been hit with a lot of unexpected bills lately, yes my son's college tuition is due by July 31st (ouch - man have state university tuition costs skyrocketed); but how could I resist a deal like this. I mean even if the scope is a piece of trash, and I am not saying it is but just that it could be at this price, so long as the scope mount/receiver cover is of decent quality this is a good deal. Supposedly the cover/mount is all steel.
What exactly is it? Well, it's a scope mount and rifle scope for a Yugo SKS that is being offered by Centerfire Systems at: http://www.centerfiresystems.com/pkg106.aspx. I never heard of this outfit before, but I found them while searching for info on a SAIGA in .308. Once I saw this ad on their home page, I was hooked. Of course, I realize that any scope mounted as far back on an SKS as this will be will probably want to scoop my right eye right out of its socket with each shot fired, but I have other plans for the mount than using the scope that comes with it. My hope is to mount a 1" tube red dot sight in the mount. That will not protrude anywhere nearly as far back as would even the so called "mini compact scope" that comes with the package. Of course, since the scope comes with the deal, I'll have to mount it before buying a red dot scope, just to see how it works albeit facing the risk to my becoming a cyclops. Who knows - it may be just the thing for an SKS. For the price of $34.98 I cannot go far wrong, that is of course barring losing an eye to this set-up. Sure the ad says $24.99, but I am adding $9.99 they charge for shipping accessories.
I have already ordered it, and once I have received it, I suppose I'll have to make a trip to the range with Brendan and a couple of good pairs of shooting glasses to check it out. Once I do, I'll let you know what I think of it.
