New Cabelas in Waco

[stdreb27]

Edzachry. I've never been to Cabella's but I've heard good things. To not have one in the 4th largest city in the union ...


or a deuce. just sayin

You turd ..... LoL

Spelling was never my strong suit.

What about Gander? I'd settle for one of those in north Austin. Like to have it closer; but the outlet mall area might work.
Shoot...now that I think about it, there's an empty HEB and an empty furniture store location on 183 in nw Austin. NOW we're talkin'

Eh. Gander is like a lesser Academy. Never been too thrilled in there. Nonetheless, it's been a while since I've been there, and I've got time to kill, so I'll reaffirm my thoughts shortly.

Dang...they put out a pretty good catalog. Never been in the store, however.

I wonder what happened to the Sportsman's ?Warehouse? that was at IH 35 and the 45 Toll in Round Rock. As I said, it was gone when we arrived in '08 and the building was still empty last time I went through. Surprised to think they were too 'early' for the area, especially since they were on the Interstate...sort of the 'last gun thing' before leaving Austin headed north(but maybe too close to Academy and AGL just one exit north).

Unimpressed again. They did have (just got a shipment in and were stocking when I went in) several personal defense rounds including 9, 40, 45 etc. All around prices on stuff were higher than the Academy across the street. Only thing I saw of interest was some 8mm Mauser which nobody stocks normally beyond Cabela's. Glad I reload for it though because it was almost $40 per 20 rounds.

Anyone know a place I can find 300 AAC BLK ammo

Bass Pro sucks. Cabela's FTW!

selection wise: cabelas, bps, gander academy

I disagree on the price thing. Cabalas is #2 for price. You can get some great deals on ammo there. $129 for 2000 rds of 22LR is pretty dang good.

 

[Robb in Austin]

Yes, there is Bass Pro, but no, not the same thing, even basically. Bass Pro pales in comparison to Cabela's. ESPECIALLY in their firearm area.

That may be so but they are still, essentially, the same. It's like comparing Wal Mart and Target. I even took a poll at work today for verification. Granted, only 4 folks had been in both.

Plus don't forget about items that can be cost prohibitive to ship such as a 50 count box of hunting bullets (not ammo) for an obscure caliber or any hazmat items. A good face to face store has a lot of merits.

If cost wasn't the main factor in this discussion, I would consider Cabela's to be top of the line in firearm, ammo, and outdoor selection. But that's just me. I'm no retail guru.

 

[stdreb27]

I've never had any issues with their pricing, but I buy the Vast majority of their stuff on clearance.

Gander mnt is high. But it's all name brand stuff.

 

[fgarcia3441]

Don't forget that they price match.
