I haven't seen any truly good deals since BPS took over but I seldom venture in there any more. Pre-BPS I was well enough known at the local Cabelas that if I bought a gun it was underpriced! A couple of examples were a Remington Model 81 modified by Krieger to a detachable magazine; a 25 caliber Model 8 for $300; a pair of Savage 1899s, one in 25/35 and the other in 38/55 for $1200 total; a Browning Citori 3.5" Hunter for $650; and an original Marlin 410 lever shotgun for $400 are a few that come to mind.
In the old days Cabala's would negotiate on prices if the gun hand been on the shelf for a while. It seemed they needed about 6 months to begin thinking about dealing. I actually bought back a gun I sold them for less than they paid for it but the gun sat for nearly two years.
