Everything in Bass Pro is extremely overpriced.  I like how people put on their hunting clothes to go shop in Bass Pro also.

This is hilarious actually, I used to work at a sporting goods store and had a theory that people would "dress up" to go there. One time these two guys came in decked out in waterfowl camo, about 2 months before the season started. Stuff like this happened all the time, and I'm glad someone has the same thoughts as me!

It is, but I do prefer their stuff to Cabelas.  Their pro qualifier baitcast reel is about as good of a deal as you can get.  The thing is solid, and goes on sale frequently.  There's also a few models of stuff that is exclusive to BPS (kvd rattling 1.5 sb, for example - you can get the silent version elsewhere, but you've got to go to BPS for the rattler).

I used to work at Cabels in Wichita.  See it all the time.

I have a Cabelas about 45mins from me.....  I ideally buy my guns from the gunshop I use to work at...I'm more of a support the small family business type. Not to say I haven't bought stuff at cabelas, I bought a J.Rigby Rifle in 375 H&H and one in 416 Rigby from the gun library At the store near me. The guy that runs it is a rifle collector like me, and really knows his stuff.

I've never been in a Bass Pro....do they have a section of the store that they sell high end guns in?

Its been in the works for 2 years...I don't see one going in in Bethlehem. The folks that run that town cant agree what color the sky is, let alone anything of this magnitude   :D

That stinks. I've always thought Cabelas had a better "black gun" offerings.

Bass Pro has always had better fishing gear though.

If they buy them out and keep them separate it should be fine.

Don't roll them into one ugly cousin-luvin creation... Keep'em separate, share product lines, we all win.  Only been to one Bass pro shop in Calgary, otherwise, it's Cabelas for this prairie boy.
