Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
RUMOR: Bass Pro buyout of Cabelas was finalized this week
This rumor has been published in a number of major news sources all month, but this is the first time I've heard that it might have been completed this week.
As a former Nebraska boy, this is blowing up all over my facebook feed.
I like Bass Pro, but I'd have to say I'll be disappointed if this turns out to be true, for many reasons.

Lord I hope not. I try to shop at Sportsman's anyway. So I guess I really don't care. They are always cheaper than Bass Pro and Cabelas.
Nice, More inventory with the same high prices. Then again, when a business receives an offer too good to pass up,why not?

Meh. There is this thing called Amazon Prime. I click a button and two days later stuff arrives at my door for the same or less price and no sales tax.

I don't shop at either, but these mergers (or buy outs) always end up with store closures and other layoffs. I guess its a good thing that Obama has fixed the economy and we have real low unemployment
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
Cabelas has been looking for a suitor for a while. They expanded too fast.
Read an article about Bass Pro buying them out at least a week ago.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Too bad. I like Cabelas. Can't stand A$$pro.

I like Cabelas too! The Lone Tree story is very nice and has a good selection of "oh shit I forgot that and am going shooting today" stuff.
