Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Went to Cabela's today....

....to spend my Christmas gift card. I bought a box of pistol ammo. I would guess that nearly 75% of the store is dedicated to clothing and overpriced food snacks. The Gun Library didn't have anything really unusual, I did notice a new Steyr rifle in 6.5x55 priced at $2500(?) if I remember correctly.

This was in a gun case:

Visited the Boise, Id store recently, and I'm amazed at the prices on everything.

All I ever look at in there is fryer and cooker selection.

I went to Cabelas yesterday, first time in several years. I used to go multiple times a month.
Nothing exciting in the gun library. The rest of the store was same old stuff, at much higher prices than I remembered.

I went Thursday. Had about $35 in points & thought I'd get a flat of 20 ga. shells. Hell, the shells were so high that I could get same at Buds or Wally World without using my points.

Found a couple boxes of Barnes Match Burners I've wanting to play with, $35 a box. So I'm figurin one of two boxes was free. On the way to the truck somethin didn't feel right & when I got there & checked the ticket it showed I'd pad $39 a box. Back we go, reimbursed but touch & go for a few minutes.


Liking, using mail order more all the time., & it won't usually be them. After all that I'm wondering if their CC with the points is even worth using.

At least they don’t suck as bad as Academy. We stopped at one in Denton.

Our Saginaw store in 90% polo shirts, kackie shorts, women's and kids clothes. Freekin joke. Almost never go there anymore.

For that kind of $$$ I'm buying a Sig MCX-SPEAR LT 300 BLK 9" SBR.......

Gun counter guys are dumbchits, I asked for a pound of IMR 4350, after 10 minutes in the back room he reappears with H4350. Swears that it's the only 4350 they ever had, couldn't convince him that it's not interchangeable with IMR 4350. The Redhead clothing is Chinese crap, falls apart in no time. Most everything else is seriously overpriced, I seldom stop there anymore.

They’re damn near becoming Dicks.

Nothing to do with sportsmen. Won’t surprise me when they start carrying frikking golf clubs.

Hi price schit I can cook sum allygator meet at the ponderoso

I had a Cabelas black card visa for years. I cut it up when bass pro bought them.
I now have a Scheels visa card. Their stores are what Cabelas was 20 years ago, but they do have athletic sports stuff in addition to hunting and fishing.

Welcome to management by Bass Pro, the Walmart of outdoors stores.

We have been watching a Scheels go up outside of Boise, about forty miles, or 35 minutes at the right time of day, from the house. Supposed to be open in a month or so.

I am hopeful it will compare favorably to Cabelas and Sportsman's.

The last 3 times I have gone to a Cabelas store I have left without buying anything. I would rather hit Scheels or JAX if one is handy

I miss the Cabela's from before the Bass Pro merger.

A couple of months ago I found a mint Rem 700Ti 270 Win priced very well at Bass Pro. The only used long gun in the rack. It came home.

Almost bought a well used 16 gauge Model 12 today. But wife was with me….

Been over a year since Í stepped foot in Cabelas. I mostly go to Academy.
