Speaking as one on the other side of the counter. I've worked for both. Bass Pro is much more professionally run, use fewer managers and get more out of their employees because of their better management and business structure. Cabela's best asset is their mail order business, however they are pretty inefficient as a brick and mortar establishment because their basic structure is has too much redundancy.
I would imagine Bass Pro doing away with the Gun Library. We love it because it is a place to find an occasional bargain, but it is a real money loser for the company. It is possible that the cost of sporting goods could come down if Bass Pro can cut away the Cabela's fat.
