Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Cabela's

More backpedaling bullshit. I figured as much.

I have been to the circus and the county fair a few times in my life so could care less to have an outing with Ma and the kids to go join the other "hunters and shooters" (a.k.a. window licker's) in the mob scene at Cabela's which is only 50 miles or so from my point of origin. Midsouth shooters supply and Midway or if I find it at Franklin's or even Bass Pro I will buy powder locally. Sales Tax, property tax, state tax, county tax, city tax, car tax, gasoline tax, garbage tax, toilet paper tax....

Just admit you made a wrong ASSumption, Still patiently waiting for the quote where I said I have purchased Powder at Cabelas, I said people could buy powder at Cabelas in person,

It's called Reading Comprehension.

And If I wanted/had to buy Powder at the big C, I would and not worry about the 8 dollar diff your wonderful math example showed,if I paid full price, which I don't.

Unfortunately your math is wrong also,I've never, ever, paid as much as 196 for a jug,

Feel free to call Midwest shooters supply for a quote, even with tax your 196 is still about 30 bucks to high.

And I don't want to hear the bullshit about driving 90000 miles to pick goods up. I drive right by these places multiple times a year.

I listed all Positives with having a Cabelas in my state,I have yet to see a negative,"that applys towards me".

You can twist words to however you need to fit your agenda, call all the names you want, But you still haven't proven anything.

In Richmond we had Bass Pro, which we still have and a Cabela's that has since folded their tent. Of course being next door to Bass Pro may of had something to do with that.
Never cared much for either one, smelled like yuppie, not gun shop.
Every year at Christmas time wife andI would go with Step Daughter to shop for son-in-law. Never found anything that I could not buy cheaper some where else.

Shhhhhhhh, quiet...




FWIW, a new Cabelas recently opened up about 30 miles west of me.. Been in there exactly twice - both times they didn't have what I wanted and after perusing the other wares I realized the prices were more in line with Rodeo Drive offerings..

Bye.. I don't need no Cabelas..

YMMV.

We just had the Grand Opening of NYS's first Cabela's store a few weeks ago. It is one of their new "scaled down" stores. IIRC it is 88,000sqft. Certainly not one of their bigger stores but seems to be stocked pretty good, so far.

The "contractor night" was also done with local clubs and others invited. It was a zoo..............staff were understandably not as familiar with the stock they'd like, parking was FULL and all 14 registers running with a one hour checkout time! Plan on spending a couple hours if you can.

Like others have mentioned, the loss of the sales tax exemption is a bummer but so much of the same items from Cabela's can be found at other online vendors that it isn't a big deal.

Such is the price of progress............

The sheer numbers of additional qualifiers and backpedaling bullshit you've continued to add is astounding, to say the least.

There are no plans for one.

Travis just left, don't know who will take his place.

100 % agree

I much prefer Cabelas !!!

All the planned new stores, 16 in the next year are going to be about that size.

Stores like Ft Worth and Hamburg are the last of the large trade mark stores.

Cabella's has had to bump the opening of the Bristol, Va store now several times. Now the sign just reads "opening in 2015". Maybe some day it will open.

I sometimes see something interesting in the used long-guns rack at Cabela's. That's about the only reason I ever go into one.

They are building one in Huntsville as well

Only a imbecile with Social issues's could possibly try to confuse facts with "backpedaling",

Show me where I was wrong, lets see the misinformation.....

You've got me on the ropes, go for the kill, Bury me if you think you can,,, You can't.

RE: Qualifiers, The next time your dysfunctional one dimension Brain gets so strained, let me know up front,

Maybe a 50 page manifest describing the minute details of my shopping habits will clear up your confusion.

In the meantime, GFY.

Got one opening in a couple weeks about 20 miles south of me in Tualatin. Still far enough that I have to make a trip, so shouldn't be to hard on the wallet.

Keep digging, dickhead.

nice stores but like bass pro they are mostly over priced.

I pay sales tax and shipping now they are here in Maine. Store is 6 hours away.

At the risking of whining....my impression of the last 3 trips to Scarborough

About 10 customers in the entire store. Sales staff standing around with their hands in their pockets.

Most confusing store layout. Rapalas all down one isle except for the one I wanted which was located at the other end of the fishing department.

Five different sizes of flatfish lined up with the trolling stuff. The size I wanted located near the stickbaits (alone).

3/8, 3/4, 1 1/8. and 2 oz jig heads all together. 1 oz jig heads (bare hook anyway) over by the monofiliment
Understocked. I'm talking bare shelves.

Sales staff less than helpful. A wave of the hand and saying that they "may be over there somewhere" isn't very useful. How hard is to to know where 1 oz. jig heads are of which as it happens they were out of. The sale associate in that department stood there with a blank look on his face (sort of like he was in day 4 of 5 of a tourist hatch) amid a sea of empty shelves. When asked, he waved his arm and "over there" encompassed everything from snoopy rods to flying gaffs and tuna lures. Heck for all I know there may have even been some firearms there.Maybe I'm not the only one confused by the layout.

Over priced

One stop at a small local shop on the way home and I had everything I needed for less. Sad to say it will be the last time I stop in.

yup, and their quality and customer service is iffy at best. I have one I drive by a few times a month, haven't stopped in a long time. it's handy if I need something in a pinch and don't have time to wait on shipping, but that is rare. IMO it's a small step up from a BPS or dick's, but not much. besides, how much crap does a person need to kill critters? the majority of that stuff is for city hunters who watch too much "hunting tv" and think they need every gadget out there. Cabela's is a great place to get your cough muffler, butt out tool, barrel harmonic dampener and handy dandy swiss army hand warmer/knife sharpener/bone collector deer call. the kids like to see the fish in the aquarium, that's about all we go for.
I'd rather have a scheels nearby than a cabelas. and fortunately I do.
