Cabela's Scarborough Fine Gun Room Closed

[Phil Yearout]

Was in the Wichita store today; Gun Library is open but seemed like mostly new stuff. Lots of new rifles, a few used rifles, a few used handguns, a few new or newer o/u's. One pretty tired VH 12ga and one Sauer (or similar) were the extent of the sxs's. The used gun racks out front are gone; wonder what they did with all those horrendous eastern European 16ga doubles they had a while back?. Ammo stock was pretty meager too; ended up ordering a flat of Herter's target loads on line for free in-store pickup as there were none on the shelves; luckily I go right by there twice a day. Lots of 3" 12ga shells at $119 a flat though!

When the Rogers MN store opened in I think 2005 I bought 1000 guns from the estate of a dealer. Those were the days

I have suspected that there was some collusion between the Cabelas Gun Libraries and some of the big dealers. On my way to The Vintage Cup, about fifteen years ago, I stopped by the Cabelas in Owatonna, MN, and several of the high end guns in the Library there I had just been looking at on Puglisi's web site.
