Here are the instructions for Question 11a as shown on the back side of the 2016 Form 4473:

Question 11.a.  Actual Transferee/Buyer:
   "A person is also the actual transferee/buyer if he/she is legitimately purchasing the firearm as a bona
fide gift for a third party.  A gift is not bona fide if another person offered or gave the person completing this form money, service(s), or item(s) of value to acquire the firearm for him/her, or if the other person is prohibited by law from receiving or possessing the firearm."

Might turn over the form and show it to the Cabela fella.
Or just go to the new DE Guns Store just outside Lincoln.   They have the best prices just about anywhere.

You shoulda heard the exchange at Walmart on Black Friday/ Thursday, (whatever it is these days)
A couple wanted to purchase a (.22) Rifle for their son for Christmas.  After hounding them a bit, counter guy learned son was 18, so "He would need to come in and fill out the paperwork because it has to be registered to him." yadda yadda. Then had the gal to ask if they were legal (hispanic accents) or had a green card!! (they were US citizens)  I WILL NOT even buy ammo there if he's working, and he knows it.  ( Later same guy wouldn't even let me look at a box of ammo unless I was buying it. "Had too many issues" ) Any way I caught them in the next aisle and told them to go to another Walmart and just purchase the rifle as theirs and gift it to their son and Merry Christmas!
Some counter folk are on a power trip, or make gun ownership seem harder than it is, or make you feel like a criminal for purchasing!   
Rant over. 

RLMoeller:
How did you answer question 11-a?  Are you the actual buyer / transferee?   If you answered no, the FFL MUST deny the transaction.  If you answered YES, things should have gone well. 

You can purchase the gun with the intent of it being a gift for your wife because in that case you are the actual buyer.  There are a lot of legal issues surrounding purchasing for another person, but it sounds like your scenario is one that should not have raised any flags unless you you marked question 11-a NO.

Atrus:
A couple of members in my family have run into this same problem when buying firearms as Christmas gifts. One store declined to sell my brother a rifle after the clerk overheard my brother asking my father (the intended recipient) a question about his preference (even though both were there and both had concealed carry permits). My family now follows the policy of buying a gift card to the store in the amount of the firearm and gifting that and then letting the recipient go fill out the paperwork.

Just don't trust your GPS to take you to Deguns on a football Saturday.  Waze GPS app on my phone tried to direct me past the stadium during a game.
