![]() ![]() You can buy nice houses cheap there and a lot of retirees are taking advantage of it. The real estate market in that area is in the shitter. I know many people from here that used to work there but no more. The BassPro buyout has decimated that area as to employment. ![]() Always easy to find a parking spot close to the door. I live about 40 miles S of Sidney, NE and the Cabelas there is but a fraction of what it used to be. There's a hundred online vendors that can beat all of them on price and selection- even factoring in paying online sales tax and shipping. Oh, and Gander Mountain/BPS/Cabela's stores are the LAST place I would buy ammunition. It is nice to walk into the store and pick up a "free" toy every once in a while. I travel for work and that allows me to rack up plenty of points without spending my own money. I do have a Cabelas Credit card that I use for business travel. That said, Cabelas and BPS really with lost their luster many years ago for me- except for the gawking at taxidermy- when I realized that I could get better gear more inexpensively- and nearly as quickly- by shopping smaller vendors on line. I never missed an opportunity to see if there was a Siren singing a song just for me in the Bargain Cave. I'll not fault them for taking the money and walking away. I think that The Cabelas family saw the writing on the wall and got out when the time was right. Video killed the radio star, and online shopping is killing brick and mortar stores. I found a NIB Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Tripod there for a steal, and picked up a Vortex Viper PST for several $100 off as well. The loss of the Bargain Cave was pretty big, both the wife and I like looking for a deal there. The whole "Outpost" thing just doesn't work for me. The Cabela's in League City feels more like walking into a hunting and fishing based Academy Sports than into a true Cabela's. ![]() And, Cabela's used to have the best return policy in retail. I've never had a bad experience with Cabela's Branded gear, though Redhead gear just looks and feels like crap. Like someone said above, I really used to enjoy making the trip down to the Cabelas in Buda when I lived in Austin, just to wander around for an hour or so, look at the taxidermy, walk through the aquarium exhibit, and see if there was something on SALE in the Bargain Cave. Neither carry an amazing reloading selection, but they generally have what I need THAT DAY. I shop in both, occasionally, only because I prefer to look and touch, and walk out with an item that day. It is still jarring to see Cabelas branded stock in BPS, and Redhead gear in Cabelas.
