Love Cabelas !! A few years back cabelas and Chevy had a promotion that if you test drove a vehicle they would send you a 50 dollar gift card. So I took a couple
test drives and a few weeks later 11 gift cards showed up at my door !! Went down and bought a new just out that year Glock 19 Gen 4 for 75 bucks out of my pocket
I've also made some good purchases in the Bargain Cave and the staff is helpful at times. Unlike Hoffmans that I went to last week that was empty except for 2 people shooting in the range and I still could not get service or even asked if I needed help !!

Damn thats awesome! Im another Cabelas lover. Currently have $1200 in Cabelas points on my CC.
I just don't buy anything there without a coupon, its that simple (unless Im in a bind then I don't mind paying extra because I need it now, like a boat part or something). Its nice being able to go down the street and get what I need, no hassle, no frustration, no searching. Just go there and they have it almost guaranteed. Their employee pricing sales are great, as are their tiered coupons. $20 off $100 or whatever they are are great for collecting ammo. Coupled with the 5% off for the Cabelas Card.
Right now 300 rounds of PMC with a Cabelas plastic "ammo can" dry box is $105. Cabelas card brings it down to $100, then $20 off coupon.
300 rounds and a dry box for $80. You can't beat that, or at least I haven't been able to.
To each their own, and if it annoys you that it is "over priced" Id tell you to consider this: you can drive to 4 or 5 different local gun shops and still possibly not find the Magpul item you want. Or, you can save yourself the trouble and just go to Cabelas and be almost guaranteed they have it. Replace "Magpul part" with anything else and its the same story, fishing gear, clothing, boating, camping equipment, cooking stuff. They have it all under one roof. So are you paying "extra" or are you paying for the convenience of not waisting two days driving around, fuel etc looking for that "thing", whatever it may be.
Then its up to you to be thrifty and not pay extra, anyways.
I pay "extra" for LLBean clothes because it comes with a lifetime warranty. Most of Cabelas stuff does, too.
