That is all [Beer]
good luck. I hope they're not sold out of everything you hope to purchase. ;)
ill be there (Lonetree).
My money and my shopping list will be there... Does it count?

I went last night, they had quite a bit of ammo, all extremely overpriced. They had a ton of pistols, a few ar's. I think the Ar's were POF but they were different colors than normal. I was not very pleased with everything else. It looks like they only carry Cabella's brand. It was fun though. Nice to see one in Colorado.
I ordered a set of rifle cases online and had them sent there for pick-up tomorrow. We'll see what else follows me home...
I hate to say it, because I love Cabela's, but that is pretty much how I imagined it would be. They know the demand is high right now and the hype about the grand-opening has swept the front range. I'm sure they'll sell most of their product at a somewhat inflated price.Quote:

Also, all their gen4 glocks are listed as "M27, M26, M22..." why is that?
Maybe the "M" stands for "model" ie. Model 27, etc?Quote:

On the fence.
I'm probably going to roll by this weekend. Let it calm down a little. Skyridge has signs that say "no Cabela's parking"...going to be insane tomorrow.
Anyone know if they hav powder,primers and bullets?
I went yesterday (Thornton). They had some powders, a decent amount of primers, and bullet selection was good. They even had a bunch of reloading dies.
I'm thinking I might make a few trips to the other sporting goods places around town this weekend. Since everybody is going to be at Cabela's, I'd assume there might be some pretty good specials and promos running at places like Sportsman's, Gander Mtn, Bass Pro. I doubt they just want to roll over and take the hit this weekend.
Can't make it on opening day unfortunately, but thinking about a day next week just to go up and check it out. There's some non-firearm items I've been wanting to check out, and the guy running the fishing section is someone I know.
Was just down that way and there were signs for the Solheim Cup golf tournament that's going on in Parker for the cabela's exit--so there may be extra traffic at the interchange not even going to Cabela's.
Might swing by on Sunday - but the idea of going to other places might be good too - I'm sure Bass Pro and the like will have some good sales.
Wife wants to go to Lonetree on Saturday to see Troy Landry. After putting $900 into fixing her van and paying the dentist's BMW payment this week, I doubt anything will follow us home. :(
I wish I was in town as I would be there in a heart beat. Thinking of hitting the Thornton store this Saturday and grab some reloading components if the price is right...
Does anyone know if you can ship reloading components to store and if so do they charge a hazmat fee?
Just got back from there. If they don't restock the shelves forget about primers and powders, they did have a bunch of ammo but it was going fast. I picked up a couple of things then saw the line to check out and set them down and walked out. They have a police command station there if that gives anyone an idea of what they are expecting. [panic]
hahaha niceQuote:

Drove past the Thornton one about 45 minutes ago and the parking lot was PACKED. I wouldn't think they'll have anything of value left for the public opening.

I will be interested to see what they have for stock in a couple of weeks. They had more .223 ammo then I have ever seen in one place. I'm already looking for the stuff online that I set down and walked away from.Quote:

I have a feeling that both of them are going to be a MAD HOUSE. I will wait to go up there
What time does it open? Ill head up there but not buying anything... I hope
I got to go yesterday and I picked up a 325 rd box of 22lr for 20 bucks. The place was packed for it just being full of card members, I don't think I would want to be there Thursday when it really opens though.
Are they open to the public, or it is some kind of invitation only thing?Quote:

I was looking for a Garmin Nuvi 50LM GPS, they had them at $199.99, hell Walmart has them for $119. Even The Bargain Cave wanted $179 for a used one.
Asked three salespeople where the 'boonie' hats were...they had no idea what I was talking about. A camo'd soldier was standing nearby and said he knew what they were but hadn't seen any. I found a couple, but their catalog shows several styles...no joy.
They had a couple AR-15-looking rifles in a rack but couldn't get close enough to see any detail or pricing...a real mob. As with most new stores the aisles are too narrow. A couple guys in front of the rifle racks had buggies and not enough room to pass each other...they just stood there looking at each other.
At least their 'pre-Christmas' sale will be easier to get to than Sidney.
Their 'sale' prices are usually pretty good, but sure was underwhelming for a big 'grand opening'.
Next you'll tell me there's no Santa Claus... :(

Planned on going this morning. Then I saw they had a screaming deal on .223. Ammo was the only thing I was really interested in. Buying online from Cabela's and having it shipped to my home saved me about $20 because of the lower tax rate over buying it in the store.
Guess I'll just keep buying online and paying Park County taxes.
I was at the Thornton store today for the credit card invite. The checkout line was at the "45 minute wait" point by 11:00AM (they opened at 9:00AM). And by that time, there was no .22LR on the shelves even though they're limiting people to a max of 1 box of .22 (if you bought the 50 round boxes you could get two IIRC). I suppose it's possible they were going to bring out more but I didn't see it in the hour I was there.
I was planning on going there tomorrow for the grand opening to try and score one of the first 500 gift cards......and then I saw people camping out in the parking lot already (again, at 11:00AM today). Sooooooo....I figured there ain't nothin' I need so bad that I have to submit myself to such torture.
The store looks nice though. I'll enjoy shopping there once all of the silliness dies down.
I may go to Thornton tomorrow - mostly looking for some clothing items and not guns n roses er ammo...
