On a better note, the first five shots hit an 8" plate at 65 yards offhand without adjusting the sights. Mounted a Vortex Venom this evening and will get it sighted in tomorrow. Sounds like you're going to enjoy that gun.

Ours makes you do a background check even though you may have a pistol permit. You better have an hour set aside if you wanna buy a gun. Anyway, joker told me I would be denied because he claimed I put the wrong county I lived in down. I know where I live. He argued and finally said fine, I'll run it but you'll get denied....Of course I wasnt. It was a pain.
Due to our local criminals, they put all longguns stacked on top of each other in a grocery cart and roll them into the safe and the end of the day. You should see the nice wood rifles and shotguns that have been ruined. Oh...but they'll take 5% off. I bet they dont have 2 bucks in those cheap gun cases they sale, why not put the long guns in those to protect them at the end of the day, instead of knocking of 5%...which I more than than 2 dollar gun case.

Decided that I needed to burn some club points on a Glock 40 MOS. Did a search of store inventories and found them in stock an hour and a half away.
Arrived at the store and was the only customer at the gun counter. Seemed unnecessary but pulled a number off the dispenser. Waited ten minutes before a mid-twenties lump of goo put his phone down and acknowledged my presence. Told him I wanted a Glock 40. He opened the case and retrieved a 20 saying that it's the only 10mm they have. I told him that it shows 40s in stock on the website and asked him to check the back room. He just stood there and said a bit louder "WE DON'T HAVE ANY!" then walked away and went back to diddling his phone.
I was Fing steaming!
Started walking to the front door but decided to go back try again with a different person. Luckily, the department supervisor called my new number. I told him that the large young man wouldn't check the back room for a Glock 40 that is shown in stock online. He spun around, went into the storage room and returned with the gun within thirty seconds.
As I was completing paperwork and checking out, sales slug #1 was told twice by the supervisor to get off his phone while customers were waiting. This is every day at the local Bass Pro...I hate the damn place. Local Bass Pro here (Dania Beach) fired the best employee they had behind the gun counter. Before I even asked, I knew instinctively why they had canned Allan. ( Alan is a Vietnam veteran with an excellent knowledge of firearms). He had gotten into an altercation with one of these rude ass South American bags of schit that come up here. Allan should have beat him to death with a Glock 40.

I had the same experience when I needed to burn some points off of my Cabela's card.... Bought a 243 on line, delivered to store... went to store... had to pull a number.... only three other people at the gun counter.... it took the better half of the moring to get out of the store with my prepaid gun....
Goodness. Never again. I took my cabela's card and locked it away in the gun safe so I will never build points on that thing again.
Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.
They only win.... when they cheat.

I just have very low expectations of Cabela/BPS employee knowledge of the things I want and act accordingly. The most I expect of them is to know what aisle or area to look for what I need. Most of the folks I’ve dealt with have been much more helpful than that.

One of the many reasons I don’t so Cabela’s or Walmart or any of the big chain retail stores anymore. Usually it’s ole Shanika with the fake rainbow colored dreadlocks and fake 4” fingernails. And AssPro has totally ruined Cabela’s.😡 I’d much rather pay a little extra and have my LGS order a gun for me. Or if they can’t order it, I’ll buy online and have it shipped there and pay their transfer fee. Much easier on the Blood Pressure. 😬 Cabelas was ruined long before that.

Didn't have to do a background check when I handed him my ccw license. The paperwork had to be reviewed by four different people at one point or another. I did hear an associate behind the counter complaining that they had to lock all the guns up every night and wished they could just close a gate to the gun dpt.

Cabelas had idiots working behind the gun counter well before Bass Pro bought them.
I had one refuse to hand me rings for a CZ, and when I called his boss he made excuses for him.
CZ 452 American is a 3/8 mount he said it was 11MM and refused to even hand them to me, or look the gun up.
They have not sold me a dime's worth of anything since IIRC

I don’t understand why any employer allows employees to carry and use their cell phones while on the clock. Absolutely zero reason to allow this. I use mine to talk to vendors, outside contractors, and look up parts #s for parts and supplies.It's way more efficient than playing phone tag or leafing through parts manuals. I know this since that's what I had to do to manage the same tasks 30 years ago.

Just replied to a satisfaction survey for my recent shopping experience at Cabelas. I vented and feel a bit better now. 🙂

I buy online and just pick it up at the store. All I have to do pass the background check and pick it up.

My total dealing is a heritage. 22 mag at BP, the 4 requisite guys to reread the paperwork. Cabelas a 9mm stoeger because BP was sold out. I did get knowledgeable guys both times. The LGS has good staff; recently got a sw 411, lcp, .22,
BP did have a floor supervisor that toldme the box that s a id bullets on it was projectiles, a bulet is t h e whole case etc.
