I was at the Scarborough Cabela’s/BPS just two weeks ago. The fine gun library was open but like Joe says, the guns in there were like something in a flea market or yard sale... mostly just plain old worn out shooters.

The used gun rack in front of the fine gun library was just as shocking... what used to be about six upper and lower gun racks was just one 10’ floor rack. I’ll probably never go back...

NOW is when KTP (just 40 miles south of Cabela’s) should step up their fine gun counter and take down those ridiculous curtains that hide their nicer guns.

I was at KTP last week. I am estimating the number of used guns for sale is 25 to 30% of what was there pre pandemic. Centerfire rifle and pistol ammo was essentially cleaned out. There were no rifle or pistol primers and only a few hundred WW209 primers priced at 6.99 per hundred. The guns behind the curtains are either new trades that have not been priced or guns that have been put on hold. The nicest doubles are visible but they are behind a pistol counter too far away for much of any visual ID nor can you read the price tags. You are not allowed behind the counter, unless you are special and you have to ask to see each individual gun.
