how much truth is there to Cabelas selling out to BassPro shops? guess I better use my points up!

Apparently Bass Pro is "exploring" the possibility.

Hope not I personally think Cabelas brand products are better quality than Bass Pro.

I heard about it a couple of weeks ago, then heard that it was a done deal and taking effect Jan 1.
With the lousy economy I would be concerned if there was both a BPS and a Cabelas in my area.

They are going to need a lot of money..... Cabelas I believe is the biggest mail order retailer in the world? As far as quality goes, most of Cabela's stuff is overpriced made in China or elsewhere crap to be honest-but they have pretty much everything so it keeps us coming back.

Looks like Bass Pro Shops is exploring the possibility, and Cabela's is also looking for other potential buyers. I'm surprised that BPS sales are about 3X of Cabela's

Wonder if they will stay Cabelas?
I buy a LOT of guns from them.
They can have great deals and they offer a layaway plan that's hard to beat.

I really try to avoid any big box store and support the little guy. unfortunately Cabelas has a lot that I like. I gave up on Gander. they are no better than a Dick's. I would like to see this cause an upswing in the local mom and pop gun shop

Cabela's put two stores in New England and were looking at a third location in NH when there should have been just one. Cabela's was a "destination" shopping experience that they tried to turn into a Walmart.
