And I am so jealous! I was hoping they'd put that store about 1.5 hours east of Tulsa.We are getting a Scheels in Tulsa.

So true. We had a Cabela's when that happened. They actually converted it into a Bass Pro store. It's quite different now from what it once was. All of the high end stuff Cabela's used to carry, like Meindl boots, is gone. Replaced mostly by made in China junk brands. No bargain cave anymore either. They are the only big sporting goods store in this area, especially when it comes to reloading stuff. So we still go in a fair amount, but we do miss the old Cabela's.Bass Pro completely ruined Cabelas. They used to sell good quality products now it is just the same Chinese junk you get at Bass Pro.
The Scheel's in Iowa City has plenty of powder and primers,... at outrageous prices. But at least they DO have it.
What part of Idaho? We're hoping to get one in Coeur d Alene. Closest Scheels to us is in Missoula.Just got a Scheels in Idaho. Love that place. Cabela’s went down the toilet when Bass Pro took them over. I would NEVER buy a gun from Cabelas since they do not allow dry fire or any manipulation with the trigger lock removed.
Someone said one time if you have the money to convert ammo to noise what difference is fifty bucks on a firearmI always love threads like this when guys get a new store, then bitch and moan about prices when prices are high on the same product everywhere. You think a new store suddenly has access to things like primers that are virtually unavailable anywhere, and if so they are supposed to be at 1990’s prices?
Or that they’re also selling clothing and family type sporting goods, which are typically high margin items that cover the overhead so they can also offer firearms.
Way long ago I was taking a business class in college. We had to interview the owner of a type of retail business that we might want to start ourselves. I interviewed the owner of the largest sporting goods store in Lafayette, IN. When I told him I’d like to have a gun shop he said he told me he would love to get rid of his gun section but felt he had to keep it to be a well rounded store. He actually lost money on firearms and related items. Gun owners take great pride in shopping forty seven different places to save a nickel

Springfield is over 150 miles from me. Iowa city is 90. The Sheel's in IC is the centerpiece of the Coral Ridge Mall and it is a monster. My only gripe is the almost total lack of used guns. And the only muzzle loaders present look like refugees from a freak show.Do you get to the Springfield Ill-annoy Scheel's store much? I
