KY Jon, I suppose from your comments that you feel Cabelas (sic) is in kahoots with all the gun control lobbies out there.

If you think to ask them or stop for a half second to consider the market in today's internet world, it makes perfect sense.

First, a goodly number of those guns that are high priced are on commission. If they don't sell, they cost Cabelas little to nothing. If the owner gets his price, so much the better for Cabelas on their percentage. If it doesn't sell, at least it was attractive to folks that like to browse large racks of firearms that interest them at whatever level.

Those that Cabelas purchase outright are marketed at the high end, because they are not really for sale locally so much as they are for sale nationally or even globally on the net, and for sure, there are folks out there willing to pay high prices by my standard because they live in a market that is much more expensive than mine. That means, I am pulled into whatever the high end market happens to be regardless of where the gun happens to be sitting at the moment. Such is life.

I have a double rifle that I am considering selling and if I do, Cabelas is a likely to get a shot at it on commission because I want every dollar I can get, and I want a national or larger market of potential customers to look at it.

Life ie tough, but welcome to capitalism.
