I'm not a big shopper in any of the big outdoor stores, so I'm not all that edumacated in the subject. Been to bass pro 1 time and same with gander. Neat to look at, but service, product and price was nothing to persuade me to buy anything. M

^^^^This.

Sent from my electronic ball and chain.

They had some giveaways for the first 100 people or something like that, They also have a pretty big event surrounding the whole thing, with various outdoors celebs ect.

I went yesterday afternoon on the Cabelas club invitation thing they did and it was a fricken zoo then. I walked in, signed up for the 3 drawings they are doing, checked to see what they had for reloading components (jack squat except they did have quite a few primers on hand) and left. I won't set foot in there for probably a couple months until it settles down a bit.

Incidentally I had to go up through NE the night before and stopped in Sydney and they were just as well stocked and had about 15 cars in the lot got some primers at a decent price and no hassles.

I'd rather drive the extra 2 hours round trip to go to Sydney if I need something only they have vs dealing with the crowds.

You couldn't even pay me or give me free ammo to participate in that.

So I got called back into the office right as I was pulling up to Bass Pro, but they were packed too. I don't know if they put out specials for this weekend, or if everybody that wanted to go to Cabela's decided to hell with that and went to Bass Pro, but there was so many more cars in the lot than normal. I was kind of stunned.

Just last night I CALLED Cabela's to place an order, and the words from the guy that took my order, "It looks like you're located not too far from our new LoneTree store, will you be making it to the grand opening?" And I was like "nope, for $5, I'll have the stuffed dropped off at my door and avoid the drive and the lines." Very glad I made the call. $5 and worth every penny just to avoid the crowd.

The checkout line is beastly

I'm sure that's the understatement of the century. Glad you were able to make it out of there alive! Haha

Still in line....going past boat stuff now.....got half a store of line to go...yay

I was outside the Thornton location. Was insane.

Thanks to the forum member here, we decide not to "wait in line" to go to Cabela's. Instead, we decide to go to Sportmans' Warehouse at 84th & I25 to buy some ammo with TWO $10off for 50 purchase.

Thankfully, they had over 15 boxes of 223/556 PMC Bronze for $8.99, and SS197SR (5.7x28mm). We picked up 3 5.7x28 and 3 boxes of 223/556. We decided to buy 2 more boxes of 223, but it was already gone. Glad that we went to Sportsmen's and used two of the $10 off coupons. It was a fair deal. People at Sportsman's were talking about how crazy Cabelas' was, and they decide not to wait in line to buy stuff where they can buy at other retailers.

Before we went home, we decide to just check out how many people there are at Cabelas' Curiosity got me to just drive by inside the parking lot.
Here are some pictures.
