he goes in the back to get a new one he comes back with a mat finish totally different look dull grey, so I said no that's mat, he says it's the same it came up under the same number, so I asked for the display, only after I asked for reduction he said $15.00 and would not come down more, filled out the paper work 15 minuts I go pick it up

the cashier says 15% off of display modells, ok he rings me up I walk it to my truck review my reciept and no 15%, another 20 minuts another girl goes in the back forever comes back honors the wrong price he wrote (first she said no) but the manager oked it

another 10 minuts to figure out the credit, done

I go to the other end of the counter two senior fellows, hi do you have any adapters for a Harris bipod to fit my RRA AR15 with a quad rail, UHH em Duh, I say picatinny rails? hemm uh nahh I say where are your bipods heh stare in space I'm about to cry, try down this way, I see another fellow same question, oh let me see , not sure it would be here, no don't think so I walk away to next isle, BOOM there it is says Harris bipod adapter for AR weaver/Picatinny rail uh man

also picked up a Walther P5 last year 480.00 traded my p232 Sig for it

Agree with you there every ounce in awhile you get a knowledgeable sales person but mostly it sure helps to know what you want or what you are looking for so you can avoid the stares. Club sales are very good though in my opinion.

Okay, after boasting about my previous wonderful experience in Hamburg, I just had a so-so situation this past weekend. I had a Kimber 22 transferred to Hamburg from the Nebraska store. The gun was listed at a reduced price with a nice scope and sling. I went to pick up the gun, and the sling was missing. Fortunately, I had taken a printout of the description of the gun with me. The salesman then told me to go and pick out any sling I wanted! The picture showed a cheap nylon sling; I chose a leather one. I asked the salesman if that were okay, and he said yes. After I got home, I realized that I was charged the original price (bought too much other stuff). I called the store and spoke to someone in the gun department, making sure to tell that person to verify the reduced price on the Web. After five minutes, the woman said that I was correct and that I will be refunded the amount overcharged.

Although everything was made right, it makes me wonder which store messed up and tried to take me over.

The damn things drive me nuts!

I get their coupons in the mail and when I can get free shipping or a decent discount I'll buy online, but I'll never step foot in the store again as long as they sell those things.

Those things drive me nuts too. The little kids running around and you are trying to keep your sanity all the while-Pop POP pop PoP pOp Pop POP pop PoP pOp Pop POP pop PoP pOp Pop POP pop PoP pOp Pop POP pop PoP pOp

Someday someone is gonna snap and pull out the bear mace........

I went there this past summer with the other half and even she was impressed. The store has a big wow factor both inside and out. The mountain view from the parking lot was beautiful. Inside the store the display of animals was spectacular. The aquarium was very nice as well. I heard so much about the store that we made it a stop at one of our summer day trips.
I think all we bought was a knife as a gift for someone, (it wasn't cheap) and some things for my labrador. They do have just about everthing there.
They are building a new Cabelas by Giant Stadium in Jersey so that would be a closer ride for us. I hope they do it justice. No mountains just the NY skyline

Yes, and along those lines, my other pet in-store peeve is all the folks blowing duck calls. Yikes...feels like I'm in a sci-fi marsh. Waak-waak-waak!

Cabelas is a decent place, especially if you are with your family. Their used-gun rack often has some pretty good deals, but otherwise, they're pricey. I picked up my Glock 21SF from them a while back, but it was only reasonably worthwhile because of the $100 discount for opening a card account. And I got a Remmie 870 Tactical pretty cheap, on close-out.

However, the sales people can be pushy, and many don't know what they're doing. Someone else mentioned having a rifle pointed at them when being shown. That happened to me, too. Blaeh!

I was fortunate in having a good salesman the last time I was there (see my previous post). Also, the Hamburg store called me the next day to follow up on the problems I experienced. I appreciated the attention to customer service. Apparently, the store to blame for the difficulties was the Nebraska store. I filled out the online Cabelas survey, explaining my problems and pointing out the inconsistency to customer service. In my case, I gave the Hamburg store a positive write-up and a negative one for the NE store.

I have had phenomenal help at Cabela's. You just have to go during the day in the slow season. Like buy a bow in May or June. Those bow techs were doing nothing, when I walked in I gave them something to do and they all helped me, almost too much. I got set up with an 800$ bow plus accessories for like 500$.

And when I was getting stuff for my kimber, I was once short on $ by a dollar, the guy in the gun section threw me a dollar so I could buy this tool.

I went to look at Walther P22's specifically, and the salesman told me owning one was uselss because it wouldn't be practical for self defense. He handed me two different .40 pistols and told me it would be much better. Luckily, he got called away and they sent someone else over to help me. He told me that .40 wasn't enough, and tried to sell me a .45!

The next time I was there buying a gun, the woman making the background check call made fun of my sideburns for the 15 minutes I had to wait around for them to get their shit together.

I have mixed feelings about Cabelas...

We enjoy a trip to Cabela's every now and then. If I outdoor clothing or boots, I do not mind going there. As far as firearms, the local guns shops - Tanner's, the Handgunner, are the same if not cheaper- I priced out a HK USP .45. BUT! Check out the Port Clinton Hotel for lunch/dinner and the Peanut Factory for fresh roasted peanuts in an old fashion candy store - few miles north on 61.

One time when I got there and was walking across the parking lot, a flock of geese came flying over the store. I wondered, " how did they do that?"
