Before Bass pro took them over, they were always pro gun !

Except that it doesn't work that way even kind of at all.

Back some years ago my Father told me, Son, don't argue with a drunk, they will just drag you ''DOWN'' to their level, than ''WIN'' by experience !
The same can be said about ''Liberal's ! Our conversations are over.

I can't say i've ever been raped there or anywhere else.

There is nothing that cabela's has.And I absolutely need to survive.So I can always get it.Somewhere else if there's a problem. If you put your wallet on the counter, that's not rape, that's consent. Lots of people here and elsewhere think that at least some of the deals are reasonable.

Fine with me. It's probably the best way for you to go when you are demonstrably wrong.

You must be visiting a different store and not a Cabela's.
I can' go in 10 of them out west and they all have the same thing...Turkish shotguns! No good doubles and a few poorly replied Model 12's.

you havent noticed because they cranked up full retail slowly over time. now everyone drifts thru the stores thinking its all such deal.
my local bass pro is the holy of holys in springfield mo. i was insulted by the cost of their inventory. yes, beautiful mueseums and stuffed animals, but not so beautiful knowing full retail profit paid for it all.
was a time they hired gun EXPERTS who knew guns.
now, if things are overwhelming in guns, all they do is move sales reps from womens sportswear holding store smart phone apps over to help out.
im 100% all for giving the local ma-pa's the business like the old days.
its my opinion and im sticking to it and will end on that note.

https://imgur.com/a/qS5jT3Z .................This is what I paid for Winchester 209s and the local gun shop I love to frequent. A week later I walked into Bass Pro and they were $5.49/100 and $50.00/1000. Check the Bass Pro in Springfield, Missouri or any Bass Pro in the country right now. It is a national price. Has been for several months. They buy in bulk, they sell for less, they make money, the customer saves money and everyone (except a few) are happy. By the way, I didn't mind I had to pay more. I love going there. But at a smaller store-expect to pay more. If you go there for the comradary- that's cool. I do the same. Show me a sporting goods store- I'll be there. smile
