Oh Cabela's, you so crazy...
DenmanShooter:
I would rather pay a bit more and buy from an independent if it is someone I trust. However, I have always gotten good deals at Cabelas.
I went toe to toe with them over a rifle once and they did me right. It was way overpriced and I told them so and they called me and made me an offer to sell it at a more reasonable price.
You have to know who to talk to. And it also helps to complain to the home office. :)
I watch for sales and bargains and shop around A LOT when I am ready to buy. I've never bought a gun on impulse, used or new.
I know Cabelas has that reputation of being pricey but I was in Scheels in Lincoln the other day and I had to stuff my teeth back in my mouth after seeing some of their prices. I did pick up a few good deals but mostly way over priced.
Just my 2 cents.

Scheels is kind of strange on gun prices. Their guns tend to be high, but occasionally you'll find a really good deal there. Their reloading components seem to be pretty reasonable, though.

I have talked with some of the guys at the gun counters at Bass Pro and at Scheels... not sure about Cabelas. They will match pricing with local compactors if the price and availability can be verified. Something to think about when sales flyers come out...
I wish Sheels had a better website for firearms and reloading supplies. It is just to far to drive to check for powder. It is my understanding each store can choose what they have for inventory within guidelines.
bkoenig:
Yeah, the Scheels website is pretty much worthless. It would be nice if it actually showed in stock inventory at the stores.
gsd:
Yeah and good luck calling them and getting someone who knows what they're they are talking about...in either place!
