The not so crazy full parking lot fooled me. We parked on the side by the boats. Short walk in. Wall to wall people as soon as we got in. The gun area was crazy. I picked number J62. They were calling number I47. Saw one NJ compliant AR type on the used gun rack. A very, very heavy Bushmaster. Lots of cool stuff there but just way too crowded to enjoy it. I think if you wanted to buy a gun it would take you 3 hours easy from the time you took your number until you left the store with you purchase.

 

The bargain cave had a spotting scope I wanted. The CZ 75 15-round magazine for $11 just had to come home with me even though I don't have a CZ. (yet)

 

Not many evil black rifles there. Shoreshot has a better selection. But, lots of hunting rifles that I know next to nothing about.

 

As busy as it was the most annoying thing were guys playing duck calls on the duck call things. I can see trying it out but I don't need 5 minutes of duck calls that sounds like 1000 ducks descending on Cabela's rifle department. Don't be that guy.

You are a brave person to go the day after Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or stupid

At cabelas, skip the gun counter, go straight to gun library

Yeah I agree with Paul, that's insane you went.

 

I went on a day that they were doing those duck calls a couple months ago. OH MY GOD, annoying to say the friggin least!

now i think i want to get them duck call things just to annoy my boss!!!

The duck call drives me absolutely nuts, especially since I'm always around the used gun rack, which is where the people keep blowing those stupid things. And for minutes and minutes at a times.

 

I know that if you're looking at the used rack, the gun library guys tell you to go in there instead of the counter to do the paperwork.

At first my wife thought it was a yappy dog. Then the pro duck callers had to show off their stuff. It sounded just like ducks. Lots of real ducks.

 

It was my wife's idea to go to Cabela's today. I told her it would be crazy. She was skeptical. She is still in shock.

Could be worse. She could have wanted to go to the mall.

Seriously. Consider yourself lucky in that aspect.

You guys don't know my wife. We went to KofP mall on the way back. LOL. Cabela's was worse. A lot worse.

Going shopping the day after Christmas is to be avoided at all cost.

I took my step daughter to Ramsey (Succasunna, formerly Ledgewood) at 9:00 this morning ... to look at Ugg booth. Ugh.

 

I honestly did not look at any guns.

I too braved Cabelas today. We arrived around 10AM. Not too scary. By the time we were ready to check out, all lines were about 2 miles long. Since me and my friend took our significant others, we too had to stop at KoP mall and deal with that insanity as well!

First thing i would never go in to Cabelas the day after Christmas. With that said, I love going in there to see the antique guns. Reminds me of my dad shop in the 60's. The fish tank is also awesome. The best part of the store is the shooting range. I was in there last year with a friend of mine who brought her younger brother. So me a nice guy told him where to stand. As I shot the water target that kept hitting him with water spray. He had no idea It was me. Sometimes life is so good.

Why would you all go shopping today? I don't get it?

I just got back from Cabelas with my new 870 Express Tactical... man were the lines long!..... got there at 5:00, Got ticket for gun counter and by 5:30 i was attended to. Filled out my paperwork by 5:45. Waited til 7 for them to call my cell that they finished my paperwork. Finished checking out by 8:30.

 

There must have been 50 more people in line waiting for background checks to come through after I checked out. Keep in mind, they closed at 8 today too....

It's a Yogi Berra thing. It's way too crowded. No one goes to Cabela's the day after Christmas.

 

Actually, it was a nice gesture by my wife to support my gun hobby. I couldn't say no.

You are a brave person to go the day after Christmas.

All of the above. I admit it.

I don't understand driving to another state to buy a firearm most nj dealers could easily source for you... Sure if they have something goofy rare... But shotguns? ARs? Why not give one of the few decent NJ guys a shot at doing the deal? Not arguing... Just saying..

Ant, and the prices there, are not any cheaper.

 

The only guys I bought out of state were used steals...

 

SVI, Vepr, Colt Trooper (lnib), unfired SKS.

 

For new stuff, no reason to go out of state.

Right used guns... I do used sometimes.. But then support a local business by doing the transfer there and maybe pick up some ammo... GOOD NJ gun shops are a rarity... And need support when it is reasonable... Now I am not saying put yourself out and spend tons more for no reason... But I will always shop a local mom and pop over an out of state big box retailer when I can! I see nothing appealing about driving hours to take a number when I can have amazing personal service right here in NJ

Fiance bought me a gift card to Cabelas.. i figured that was a reason enough.

Also I did get a steal on my 870. Way cheaper than anywhere in NJ. the $2 PICS and $3 Tax is nice too.

Fair enough... Wasn't so much commenting on you directly.. More in general...

VT although i will agree that majority of their prices are comparable to NJ prices if not more expensive.

My wife and daighter love the KoP mall. It's not too bad and has a lot of eye candy, so I don't mind either

More of an excuse to hang out with friends. I hate crowds. This was a rare occasion for us to all have schedules align and spend a day together. Any excuse to get out of NJ is a good excuse!
