Cabela's Scarborough Fine Gun Room Closed

[Harold Pickens]

Cabelas/BassPro seems to be taking a nosedive. The Wheeling gun room was open here, even had a couple Trojan 12's, a PH 12, and a DHE 2o. They had no-none -nada
shotgun primers, and kept trying to sell me Triple 7 primers at an exorbitant rate. They had no small game loads, like dove/quail loads in 20 ga, but I was directed to 3" mag 2's in steel shot. The distribution center for the eastern US is here in wheeling, and they had none there also.

I was at the Hamburg Pa Cabelas store a couple weeks ago and they had the Gun Library almost filled again. I was there a couple months ago and it was mostly empty and the attendant told me they had all the stock from the library and the regular shelves locked up in the back due to our Covid-19 shutdown. Both areas are mostly filled, although I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down the library. The Bass Pro shop out in Harrisburg doesn't have one and the ones I've stopped at in other states don't have them either.

[C.O.B.]

The concept of the Gun Library was created to cater to the "collectable" gun market as well as the high end products from other sources. The number of Parker's, Fox, Smith, Purdy, H&H pre 64 Winchesters, Colt etc is a finite source as are the people knowledgeable enough to discuss them intelligently.

Is the Wheeling Cabelas gun room still open? I have been to several Cabelas but the Wheeling store is one of my favorites. The African display put them over the top in my opinion. I have watched as people look in awe of the full size elephant and other game they have on display. The huge moose in the middle of the trout pond below the water falls is also one of my favorites. The distribution center less than a mile away is huge. I remember going to the store on fishing days and they had sold out of the reel I wanted in less than the 2 hours it took me to get there. As I was leaving a salesman caught me before I got out the door and said he would check over at the distribution center. They ended up having over 50. I paid for the reel there and he sent me over to the center(didn't know was there) to pick up the reel. Talk about poor business practices. The sales people need to let people know that if the store is sold out then they(sales people)need to call over to the distribution center to see if its in stock instead of losing a sale.
