I go to the old Cabelas which is now BPS about 3 times a year. Why I really don't know. I have plenty of guns and gun accessories, plenty of ammo and reloading supplies. I dont fish, and I dont buy their clothes. So as I walk around looking the used guns they have for sale. I asked myself, who in the world pays these ridiculous prices. I don't care for the new stuff being put out, so I look at the used guns.
A select few caught my eye. They had several beat S&W 59's with one mag for $769. A pretty rough S&W 66 and 19 for $1200. Used GP100 newer model for $850.
Looking a the rifles they had a decent Winchester 94 in 357 for $1600. Who in the world pays this amount for them. The clerk said best they do is go 8% off if the gun has sat for a certain time period. WOW!!! A whole 8%.
Loaded ammo. Cant imagine having to buy ammo today. Their selling Winchester 44 mag defensive ammo for $39 a box (that a box of 20) If ya bought a handgun, couple hundred rounds of ammo and a few accessories, you spend close to a $1000+.
I'm blessed to have what I have. Friday was it. No need to go back.
