Cabelas kinda sucks. It's now what Gander used to be before they went on full on double rainbow.

Years ago it was cool for us to stop at Gander when we were "Up North", especially after the catalog died. The ones they built here to start with were OK but the prices were ridiculous.

When I get another it will be a 35. Rem or Whelen. I can keep eyes out for either. 35 Rem. I like the 70s version with the high gloss stock Me too! Bought five over the last couple of years. AND, no, they aren't for sale. None of them? Never know when a guy is going to need 4 spares.

I never got the 'excitement' of having a Cabelas opening nearby.
I am HAPPY to not have one in my state, WTF to I want to pay state sales taxes for online orders.
Yankees... I always loved taking the family to the Cabelas store. And "Yankee" is the highest compliment you could give me. I wear that with pride.

When I get another it will be a 35. I like the 35 calibers in these too. Mine is an early model (I forget if it was 1954 or '56?) that had some pitting and not much finish so I touched it up a little, and set it up for heavy subsonic loads. Kills deer about like you'd expect - pretty dead.

If a CO saw that in a back window gun rack he first thought would almost certainly be "poacher". With that thought in mind, it would be kinda fun to mess with their heads, but if they were watching you (or me) they wouldn't be watching the real poachers.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

There is no reason to be ashamed of the choices that their ancestors made, as it is likely that they chose to follow their conscience and the outcomes have been long decided. I am as proud of my ancestors who followed their friends and neighbors into the Union Army between 1861 and 1865 as a person whose ancestors followed their friends and neighbors into the Confederate Army at the same time. Most of them weren't decision makes and had little control over where events took them.

As I've said before, I don't give a shiet about 150+ years ago, I just wish there weren't so damn many WHITE, LIBERAL YANKEES. Thanks to them, we have Obama.

I went to Cabelas in Rock Hill SC and I was shocked. It wasn't but half the size of a normal Cabelas. Drive 17 miles south on 77 and go to a real store . Nichols store.If they were within a 2 mile drive of any Cabelas they would close shop in less then 24 hours.

You mean those liberal yankees like LBJ, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Lloyd Bentsen, John Edwards & Tim Kaine. Hillary may be from Chicago but she learned her political ropes in the South. I wish you southern wimps would stop electing liberals and giving them a leg up to National prominence. You guys are killing us.

I have a 1954 760 in 30-06 and it looks like the one in the link above.
