I usually get eithers's gift cards from family members then go online and hit a sale. Far better products and their associated prices are available from the mom&pops online.

1. Link? Methinks the latest information on this is that nothing has changed yet.
2. Why is this in the Africa forum?

I've had a Cabela's gift card in my wallet now for almost a year. I've been there a few dozen times, The Delaware store is 11 miles away) and they never seem to have what I want or need. Never have the powder I want or need, Never have the bullets I need.. guns and optics are overpriced.. And they "Gun Room" for the special stuff, makes the pirates at the local gunshows look cheap. But I keep trying!

The main problem with Cabela's is that they seemed to shift away from cabela's "branded" items a few years ago. If I wanted to buy Sitka, NorthFace or Under Armour, I'd surf the internet and see who has some on sale. No reason to buy it from Cabela's.
Although, it does seem that over the past year they may have started correcting that and might be shifting back. I was in the Ft. Worth store today and bought their version of a micro puff down jacket for $59. All the UA, North face and comparable others were $150+

I see the opposite, they start selling products from American companies like Boyt, then get chineese knockoff chitt made for cheap. Next they drop the good stuff and sell chitt for slightly less. Must add their chitt is not as chitty as most chineese chitt. Whew, that hurt!!!

I did and eventually added a C note and bought Filson.. Buying Made in USA is a job in itself and impossible in many fields from my experience... Regards, Matt.

Boyt was an American product, but has moved to China like so many others. That was my example, but Cabelas has done the same to others. Think about the fact that buy using this tactic, they have forced the production of all similar products overseas.

No we consumers forced the production to China on everything because we buy 98% on price!!!

As a born and raised Nebraskan it saddens me to even think this could happen. I have not seen anything that says it's a done deal, but I can tell you the 2000 people in Sidney, NE that Cabela's employs are schitting in their pants right now. Sidney is a town of less than 7000 and this would be devastating to their economy.
I agree it was a big mistake for Cabela's to go public. The family was doing just fine on their own. Actually, I have seen quite a difference in the company after going public, and not for the better.
Mike My wife was working customer service for Cabela's, when they went public. I knew that it would not be good. Too big is going to hurt at some point. Hopefully, most of the Cabela's structure will stay in place and the money will just be controlled by Bass Pro. Sidney, Nebraska is a crappy little town that will completely go away if Cabela's stuff is pulled. Gonna be interesting.

I would say it is a chicken/eggthing. Retailer's do it to make an extra buck, we do it to save a buck.
