[QUOTE=James T. Kucaba;5735]The Cabelas store in Lacey Washington did the exact same thing to me a few months back ... They SCREWED me out of a 14ga lifter gun that I called in and BOUGHT in the morning ... Only to be called back and told I couldn't have the gun in the afternoon ! ... I took my complaint to the manager of the gun department at the Lacey Washington store, to no avail, then up the ladder to the Store Manager in Lacey to no avail, and finally to the HMFIC over ALL of Cabelas gun departments at their Corporate Headquarters in Nebraska, and got no satisfaction from him either ... This is why I think a potential buyer should be required to put some "Earnest Money" up before he can get a gun put on hold ... Needless to say, I've been making up NEW swear words to call Cabelas ever since ... And I just bought a gun safe from Dick's Sporting Goods because it will be a 20 below zero day in AriZOOna before I spend a cent in a Cabelas store again.
Jim- I'm with you and the other brothers of the Meridian CT. clan here, no responsible dealer should advertise any gun for sale, whether it is a minty CHE 20 or a Stevens 311, unless it is free and clear for sale or trade/sale with inspection from a potential buyer. I hold Cabela's Gun Library in "Low Esteem" as I surmise do you, they are in the gun game for the $ and not to build a solid customer/client base, as perhaps Jack Puglisi, the late Thad Scott, and Bill Jaqua (amongst many other good dealers IMO) have done over the years. Being a reputable gun dealer takes years to build a client base.
Having a bit of military background, I interpret your code HMFIC of the Cabela's "sham" as meaning the Head Mister Foster In Charge of course!!
HMFIC at Cabela's?? Huum-wonder wonder wonder??
