Drove out to Cabela's this morning.  It's 90 minutes from my house.  Got there around 10:20am, expecting mayhem because of Father's day and a Saturday morning, but the place was not very busy.

 

Walked over to the gun counter, saw a rifle I've been trying to buy in NJ from our sponsors (but they've been unable to get it).  Took a number, and it was only 3 higher than the last number to be called, so got waited on about 3 minutes later.  Did the gun counter paperwork, then walked over to the FFL computers.  Very nice young lady helped me, and I was done with the paperwork maybe 8 minutes later.

 

There was some confusion since the gun I was buying has many "evil" features and they weren't sure it was NJ legal.  I shouted over to the three guys discussing it that it was OK since it was a bolt-action, and the law they were worried about applied to SA only.  They said "Hmm" and walked into the office.  Within 5 minutes they were out, and I was ready.

 

We got the cell phone call that the background check was done within 10 minutes.

 

I did more shopping, then checked out immediately at the gun buying counter.  No waiting.  They didn't require me to be walked out as long as I was ok with a strip of Cabela's stripped security tape closing the box.

 

So, hard to find rifle purchased quickly and easily, no hassles.  Great time, and the least crowded I've ever seen the place!

I didn't tell you because I don't have pictures yet, and didn't want to get the "this thread is useless without pictures."

 

Savage 110BA in 300 Win Mag.  I've been wanting one for a while.  It was a hard rifle for local FFL's and sponsors to get, so I was surprised to see one sitting there on the rack.

 

They had at least one Mosin because the guy next to me was buying one.  Wood was OK, but bolt was the shiniest Mosin bolt I've ever seen.

 

Sweet bolty. Let us know how it is on the range!

Range report needed now to complete the thread..

They had one at savage day at my club. Everyone loved it

Did they have .22 ammo in stock?

I was there yesterday as well. There weren't a lot of people there. It wasn't too crowded. Beautiful day.

Did they have .22 ammo in stock?

 

None.  I bought 2 of the 4 boxes of CCI 22short.  I didn't see a single box of 22LR.

 

They had a few primers, and good selection of powder.  Brass was in short supply.

 

They had a ton of guns, though.  Cases and racks completely full.
