    Cabela's the company has everything the hunter or fisherman needs ("wants" is another story). And…read moreI hesitate to say this because my friends will think I've lost it but every time I visit this actual store I'm left feeling kind of empty. Now I like Cabela's products, I like their selection, and I get excited when the new catalog's arrived- I even ranked high enough as a customer to get the hardbound master catalog last year. So I AM a Cabela's guy, despite the ethical issue I have with these giant stores squashing the little independent gear dealers... My problem is that their website is so well organized, and it's so easy to shop from, I have little reason to visit the actual store. The staff is very good, so that's a plus. And you can try things on in the actual store, so if you're a tough size you'll be happy to visit here. I'm not, so internet shopping's easy for me... When in the area I want to stop in here to be oooed and awed by the huge selection of stuff. But often, the one specialty thing I actually need or want they're out of stock on! Last trip I left without buying anything! And the bargain cave in the back of the store is tough to like. I guess if you go there everyday and catch the good stuff when it hits the cave you can score. But whenever I go I'm amazed at the huge price they ask for the leftover/used stuff. I mean used sneakers need to be pretty cheap- who ends up paying these prices for returned stinky shoes? So I guess as a long distant visitor, the store leaves me wanting more, and I'm often more rewarded finding the smaller specialty fishing/hunting places in terms of "destination" store experiences. If you need an extra box of shells or some flys or whatever in a pinch, I suppose it's really nice to have this place in the area, but I personally usually plan ahead and pack plenty anyway. OK, their gun selection is really nice, but in that regard I already have what I need, and can't afford what I want!

    Not that great ! They never have stuff out on the floor like the website says and the service is so…read morebad none them even know when or if they will get more ! They have way too high of mark up compared to buying some where else ! I would just shop online and skip them.

    Having a really hard time understanding the 2 negative reviews. Had a great experience there, seems…read morelike one bad review needs to take a class on small business, and the other bad review could've been avoided by doing some more research, as well as asking some questions about the dealerships practices and process. Anyway with that outta the way, I'll talk about my experience. I walked in looking for a new handgun, I chatted with the owner (who I didn't think looked like the tiger king whatsoever?) who was very friendly. Chatted about calibers, politics, gun sizes for CCW, and then I asked to see a few pistols. He immediately grabbed what I requested, didn't flag me, proper trigger discipline, and set them on the counter, allowing me to view them, check the sights. Then he ran me down what each gun came with. I asked to look at a few more options, also not a problem. And made a decision on a nice Steyr 9mm. They got up the case and rang me up, he handed me the paperwork and was extremely clear on what needed filled out and where. At this point he handed me off to his wife who turned in the paperwork for a background check while he went and helped another customer out (with what sounded like was advice on buying through a private sale, basically he was helping someone who wasn't buying anything from him through what a private sale should look like, which in my mind is both excellent being a good person and a great way to earn a customer.) my background check went through within 2 minutes, and I payed for the gun. The owner then handed me some paperwork and a pamphlet for a free online course to get certified for my concealed carry permit which he explained was a good thing in case I brought the pistol with me to other states.... After the sale, you know, the part where most people/businesses smile and wave and say "see you next time"? I call that going above and beyond. On a final note one other review says that the owner had his FFL revoked so his wife has to do the transactions. I kind of doubt that, but you know what? Even if that's true, the ATF will revoke an FFL for an offensive social media post, or putting a stock on the back of a pistol, they change their rule book every two weeks and their opinion on a persons qualifications don't really mean much to me. Anyway, sorry about the text wall, I was just pretty frustrated seeing negative reviews that didn't really sound like they were the owners fault. 10/10, they have my current and future business. Hell I might go tomorrow for a rifle.

    Went to purchase a gun case from here today. Says online and the door they open at 9. We sat there…read morea while after 9 and no one opened. So we asked the people next door and they said the owner took his kid to Chicago airport. No sign on the door or anything.... what a bust!
