Cabelas - Thornton

[J]

I know, kinda weird to post a review for a big chain, but I just had to...

I bought a "premium" level shotgun from Cabelas last week, for my Pheasant hunt in South Dakota. Two days later, when I was away on my trip they offered $100 of on the gun. I went back in this week and politely asked if they could honor it for me, and they did! I bought 2 days before the promo started, and couldn't go ask until 2 days after the promo ended, due to my trip. They issued me a gift card for the difference, which was quite nice. Always stings when something you buy goes on sale right after, and they took care of me happily. I should also mention that they were anywhere from $100-$150 cheaper than 4 of the 5 shops I checked around at for the same shotgun (the 5th shop had it for the same price).

Great to still see some big chains treating customers like they are a small neighborhood shop. Thanks.

I have had good luck there as well. I scored an awesome drag bag for 40.00 out of the bargain cave and a set of Loupy rings that were missing a screw for 15.00.
I dig the place.

Went today, they had some Rio buckshot for 2.79 and they had some .30 carbine ammo too for an ok price. Not a bad store, If I need something in a pinch and don't want to truck down to Sportsman's. Gun prices were high though.

Quality and service. What a great combination. In my opinion Cabelas rocks.

This is most likely why they are probably expanding as they are now.
They are friendly as well (at least the Thornton one I went to).

Scored some great Vortex binoculars (10x) for $94....they're usually $150 anywhere else!

They have my business for sure! They price matched an online retainer on Cyber Monday for a hornady lnl ap. Got it for $399.99 and saved me $30 bucks.👍👍

Not to derail but primary arms has done the same thing for me in the past. It's the little things like that, that bring customers back.

Between Christmas and birthday I got a bunch of gift certificates burning a hole in my pocket. I'd not been to the Thornton location so the wife and I met our son and daughter-in-law there. Bought a Glock 21SF ($599) and a Sig 2022 in .40 ($449).
Very pleasant experience with friendly, helpful staff. I particulary liked that they give you a pager and page you when the BGC was complete leaving you free to wander the store or sit in the deli. The BGC only took 20 minutes or so.
I probably could have found better deals somewhere else but would not have been able to use the gift certs. They also had lots of ammo including a large selection of .223 (no .22 lr)

OOOPS! meant to post this in "Dealer and Range reviews"
