Default Cabelas Grandville MI

New program at my local Cabelas. Now to enter the Gun Library you have to sign in on an ipad, name and phone number which puts you into the queue. Since I was there I signed in, I'm #11, walked around for about 20 minutes, checking ammo supplies and pricing. Looked at gun cleaning supplies etc. Text on my phone said to check my place in the queue? Still #11, i opted out of the Queue, stopped at the counter and picked up 2022 Hunting Regulations and left the store. I probably didn't miss a thing in there anyway.

I ran into the same thing at a Cabela's gun counter not long ago myself.

I was in the market for a J-Frame Smith and once I realized I needed to sign-in or scan a QR code to talk to a salesperson I walked out the door & bought the pistol from another vendor that wanted my business & would talk to me.

Cabela's is a long-long ways from the outfit we all used to love dealing with!!

I was in the Hamburg store yesterday, they did have a selection of powder, but very limited shotgun powder, none that I was after. Gun counter has been a pull a number and now sign up on Ipad access for awhile. The gun room was still just walk in. A couple of Parkers, but nothing worth mentioning.

Y’all are lucky. The Avon Ohio cabelas wont let you handle any guns until you buy them. I was curious to check out an lc smith they had for some reason, and when I asked to handle it I was told: “firearms may be viewed and handled any time after purchase, but not before”……yikes

The Greenville, SC Cabelas had a well worn but higher grade LC Smith for sale the last time they had anything desirable. Probably should have bought it but didn’t. Now they have nothing good

There hasn't been much of interest in the Wichita store library of late, but at least they haven't gone the "take a number" route yet. 'Course I haven't been there in a few weeks so who knows?

The last time I was in Cabelas was the store in Northern VA. I entered the gun room to see there amazing selection of beat up old military rifles. Junk.

A couple of years back I found a Colt SAA in .44 special in the Denver Cabelas and decided to buy it. A guy can't have too many Colt SAA's.... Got the price and had to go out of the gunroom to a separate counter to pay for it. When they added the 7% sales tax on it was too much, but I choked and bought it. The .44 special is a very easy shooting caliber for the SAA. I shoulda just walked away. 7% on a gun of over $1000 just took it too high. Can't see myself buying any more guns from that shop.
