Well, not really... But I am entertaining suggestions. Let's say you got a bunch of Cabelas gift cards for Christmas, and you already have a bunch of points. You honestly can't find much in the way of merchandise that you actually NEED, so being a looney, you naturally start eyeballing in-stock bolt action rifles.
Again, you can't really justify buying another rifle based on NEED, but we are loonies. So here's the question: Which rifle, priced roughly in the $1K or less range, would you buy, and why?
Go ahead. Talk me into my next impulse purchase!

It's the season of giving and you don't really want or need anything so forward the gift cards on to me

Travis Nice try, but I don't believe they carry either.

Here's one you probably don't have but you definitely "need!" Trust me I have one.

They have a great 50% off deal on their fly fishing combos. Great reel for the money!!!
I bought one that was normally $350 for $150 with an additional 20% off coupon.

Firearms wouldn't be my first choice at Cabelas? They tend to be higher priced for firearms.
A Winchester 70 in 300 H&H
Accumark V 338-378 or 340 WBY
Remington Sendero SFII 300 win mag
Tikka CTR 260 rem
Handguns?

True on the prices, but I'm starting with a bunch of gift cards and points, so anything $1k or less will be a steal. ;-)

What about selling the gift cards to a member at a slight discount and seeing what else you need from somewhere else?
I'd offer 80% of the value as a starting point, but I'm cheap!

Keep going back and checking the used rack and Gun Room. Sooner or later you will find something that either you really need or sorta resembles a deal. I've seen virtually new rifles for a couple hundred off in their used rack.

I'm thinking AMMO. Got 2 high $ gift cards for Christmas. Both to BassPro. I'm going to get so much ammo the average guy would need hernia surgery after moving it all.
