I bought some expensive stuff at Cabela's a few weeks ago, and in order to get a big discount, and also not have to pay interest on the purchase for a few months, I got one of their credit cards. (Also got a hat, $50 coupon, other stuff). If I only use it for Cabela's, and pay it off, it will end up being a good deal.

 

Anyways, just got an email for an "Employee Pricing Sale" coupon, good thru 1/2/2010 (non-transferable, BTW). Good in-store only.

 

Does anyone have any idea what kind of discounts are available? There is no limit, so it might be time to stock up on some bullets, powder,etc, but wanted to know if anyone knew the rough discount before I took the 2 hour drive.

No one has heard of this?

 

PS: Merry Christmas! Two hours left, and the 10 year old is getting excited. He'll be even more excited when he gets then Remington 1100 20ga tomorrow!

Went to Cabela's on Wednesday. The shelves were full of ammo. Everything you could think of. I think the big buy up is gone. Maybe prices will start coming back down again too!

A buddy of mine called me up and said Davis sport shop in NY is all stocked up also. Maybe it is over. Im not to sure about prices going down. It might but I'll buy a few boxes and see what happens. I am wanting to get into reloading. Im getting an itch for it.

Cabela's "Employee Price Sale" coupon was fantastic - got an average of 18% off our whole purchase, and 25% off a lot of the stuff we bought.

 

Bullets for reloading 10%

Lead bullets 25%

9mm PMC ammo 21%

Powder 10%

Scope cover 25%

 

Etc. Saved a lot of money, spent a lot of money. Cashier was impressed by the savings, told us we were her "super shoppers of the week."

 

If you get this coupon, and need stuff they have, it is well worth it.

How packed was the store?

It was busy, but less so than the last few times I've been there. Much less than a few weeks ago. Got a parking spot in the second row, plenty of room for carts in the gun area.

 

So, busy, but not insane.

Yeah, you could walk up to the counters and actually see a handgun! Last time I was there, you couldn't stand there in the gun section without getting bumped around.

Um, I'll wait three hours to get a free long gun, too!

Went again today, on my way home from a quick trip to Maryland. It was less crowded today than I've ever seen it, but still busy.

 

Got 5 lbs of Varget, which I've been getting low on, and which I use to load my 3 most popular rounds. The employee discount coupon worked again; got almost $100 off my $400 order, including $60 off a pair of great boots $190 -> $130.

 

They also had almost every size and brand of primers, both Remington and CCI in every shape. Got the CCI 450 (small rifle magnum) that I've been looking for, and they had BR primers in both LR and SR. Just sitting on the shelf!! $35 without coupon, $29 with!
