Now you get to pay sales tax on all your Cabelas purchases.
Oh and did your state give Cabelas 25M to put in the store? And rebuild a highway just for them? And turn a blind eye when they put the highway over swampland? I really dont care about any of that stuff. But it happened here. |

Therein lies the rub. Most of their products are too pricey for many of us. |

Cabelas SUCKS!
I've been there twice (both times on a Saturday) and they were so damned packed with shoppers I couldn't even look at 10% of what I was interested in. I passed up buying things simply because it would be too hard to haul it through the store and get to a line at the register. Cabelas is like going to DisneyLand.

I'm surprised they didn't do Las Vegas first.
The article says there is going to be some kind of museum next door. |

Aren't they a dedicated hunting/fishing store? As a non hunter/fisherman I never expect those places to have much interesting inventory.

Ooops, you're wrong. Fort Worth, Texas, Where the West Begins, will be getting one before you do.

Can't figure it out. Not one thing in the store wasn't cheaper somewhere else.
Something pays the profit that allows them to display all that beautiful taxidermy, bought the plane hanging from the ceiling, everything. Even the used guns were over priced, so were new. The most expensive gun shop here in NJ had some of the same shotguns for about 5% less, on average than then PA Cabelas. I was very disappointed. |

Cabella's is a form of entertainment. You don't go there to find a bargain. You go there to either indulge yourself or buy a souvenier box of .223.

Cabela's is a fine place with about everything under the sun, but I buy very little there anymore. State sales tax and prices that are nothing to brag about are the main reasons. I can find pretty much anything they sell for less somewhere else. About the only thing I use them for anymore is last minute christmas shopping for a family member. They do carry quite a few models of Bushmasters if you want to pay out the ass though.

I don't know about cabelas, but Brass Pro has hiking and camping stuff, raingear, boots, packs, knives, GPS, plus scopes ammo etc. The Galyans around here usually have good prices on pistols and hunting long guns. |

Cabelas beats Bass Pro or Galyans. Too bad they are too damned crowded to even shop in. |

DriftPunch:
Imagine the biggest Walmart you ever saw (or a small-medium sized mall). Then imagine that same Walmart filled only with outdoors (including hunting) gear. Guns, stuffed dead animals (including ones many can only dream of shooting), fishing gear, boats, for sale guns, ammo, hiking gear, dog training gear, a museum of more guns, etc. Plan to take 2 days off from work a book a hotel nearby so you can come back the next day and see everything you didnt see on the first day.

Their gun "library" is alway worth a look. Like a small museum. way too pricey, but some neat stuff.
The store in Dundee, MI is about 45 mins from me. They seem to be getting out of the gun powder business. They hardly stock any powder anymore. |

I'd love to have a Cabelas nearby.
We're supposed to be getting a Sportsman's Warehouse nearby soon. Is that any good?

no no no, you're all wrong. Austin is getting the first Cabela's in the west, southwest, and Texas!!!
I heard it's a pretty nice place to see, but I'm willing to bet the prices won't make me reach for my wallet. |

Cabela's and Bass Pro to adults are like Disney and Universal Studios are to kids. Lots of fun stuff, lots of fantasy, some deals, lots of overpriced stuff, some stuff you can hardly get anywhere else. If you are near either, go. Good places to look at stuff in person and buy it cheaper on the internet later. |

Reno,Nv. was a contender too....but remembering those HIGH azz prices just as well it'll do fine in Utah and elsewhere....Maybe Las Vegas would be a Mecca for Cabelas

The one in Michigan is huge. It has a three story mountain in the middle of the store!
 Along with stuffed mountain goats, lions, zebra, impala, and a fuckin elephant! Not to mention the creek running through the middle of the floor with live fish swimming in it, gun library,....etc. And I was only there for an hour or two. If it wasn't 85+ miles away, I would make a habbit of going once a month.
