Wes Dillon was the head of all the Gun Libraries untill he went to Julia. They used to pride themselves on customer service but have so many inexperienced Gun Library Mgrs it's hard to talk to someone who knows anything.

As much as I hated to i called them on a DH 20ga damascuss gun last year. it was advertised on the web. I was told it was listed by mistake and that it had to be held for 30 days by law. they couldn't or wouldn't put my name on it. After the required time period I called the store in the opening hour and was told the gun had been sold.

All that "holding the gun for 30 days" is a crock. Every time we bitch about Cabela's, Checkbook Bruce gets on here and tells us how the big cheese at Cabela's is a PGCA supporter. I have been through the business of someone selling me a gun and then "selling it to someone else" because it turned out to be a good gun. What kind of record keeping can exist in a Gun Library that a gun can be sold twice without anyone knowing about it. There are only a couple of people per shift. I would want to see the proof of the other sale. By the way, the big cheese at Cabela's told me to contact him if I needed anything. I wonder what he would do for me if I told him I was sold a gun and refused possession? Dr. Pruitt needs to rock the boat a bit.

"The Boys of Cabelas", God bless em. Just so you know, in the state of Washington and possibly other states as well, they have a pawn law that requires all guns traded in to go through a 30 day quarantine period before they can be sold to determine if they have been stolen, so here it's real.

About 6 years ago I saw a MINT Parker GHE 20 gauge on their website and they called it a reproduction. Of course, as we all know, there was never a GHE reproduction. So I called them and asked the sales guy what it said on the top of the barrels. He said, just as I had suspected, it had no writing of any sort on the top of the barrels or top of the rib. **** REMINGTON era Parker!!

So I gave him my credit card and the gun arrived a few days later. I bought it on the low end of what a good used reproduction would have gone for in those days. My gunsmith said he had never seen such a crisp and clean Parker in all the years he had been in business.

It's not always a bad thing to be involved with "The Boys of Cabelas".
