Does anyone shop at Cabela's anymore? I don't anymore........selection

I quit shopping at Cabelas after they were bought out by BPS.
The Cabelas brand used to make quality outerwear. Now, after BPS, it's all junk. Pretty sad really. I struggle to find quality outerwear now.
 
I still have a Cabelas cc that I build my points up for purchasing guns or sometimes scopes. I usually order the items online and have them shipped to my local store as it’s rare my store has the item in stock. The online selection is still pretty solid for firearms, you just have to check in occasionally because things can come and go quickly.
But I agree, Cabelas is no longer the same. They had nice outerwear back in the day but I think Sitka, KUIU, FL, etc killed that as much as BPS did buying them. BPS probably acknowledged the fact that many guys preferred the “premium outerwear” while they could still sell their line to the weekend gun hunters.
 
Like others I still have a CC but haven’t been in a physical store in a while. I tend to use my points to buy some broadheads about once a year
 
I trashed the card several years ago and went with pure points to cash. I can use those $$ anywhere and earn more points per dollar as well. I have one 1.5 miles from the house and a BP 60 miles down the road. and only use it when I need something quick or there is a good sale. Prices have gone up and quality is going down. It is sad when I'd prefer to order quality on line, wait for it and hope it fits. Planning for an elk hunt, drew Kentucky rifle bull tag, and have bought nothing from the store. Every purchase has been online or local stores
 
took the kids to see the fish tank at the BPS in Manteca, CA yesterday. Moved the sturgeon, carp and catfish into the trout pond, only very sickly looking LMB in the big tank. First time in 5 years we've ever gone there and left without spending a dime.
 
We have a small Cabelas. I had a bunch of gift cards and went in to use them. Ended up wandering for 30 minutes without really finding much. Just got a notice since I havent used my account in 2 years I am going to lose my points. Guess I'll go stock up on .17 ammo or fishing gear
 
Went in to the local store to get some primers for the muzzleloader, they always have the Federal 209A shotshell primers in stock for $8 and change. I shopped for a month online trying to find them in stock last year and found them at the store even though they showed out of stock online so went back yesterday and sure enough they still have them. I'm too cheap to buy anything else though, all the stuff I'd buy I can get cheaper online or at Academy.
