Cabella's Tomorrow

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?

My dad has one of their credit cards and got a invite to bring friends and family.

I was at the Lone Tree store at 9:30, this morning, supposedly a 'members only' gig...what a madhouse. A couple checkout lines ran the full length of the store.
They had some Winchester 55 gr .223...for $19.99/20...such a deal!
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...

I think I'll go to IKEA instead.

anyone there now?

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...
