Boy talk about rollbacks! Cabelas has really lowered the Brass frame revolver prices in their Bargan Cave!
These are their bread and butter sales, usually the "first" buys of many BP shooters (till we get wise) and jacking up the prices as they did a while back was really a mistake I guess! Musta really hurt sales because of the results of todays pricing!
I'd rather not get another Brasser but they can be fun if loaded light. I shoot my '51 .44 "Navy" at 20 gr and it seems to be doing OK. These guns are a heck of a lot of fun and if you don't get magnumitis and load heavy, will last a good long time!
I've tried and follow the trends of pricing BP revolvers just out of curiousity and couldn't believe that price jump! Having just bought a Piettia Police before the price increase and wanted another regular .36 steel Colt but the price jump beat me!
I have noticed that the steel frame prices are back to the levels that they were before the increase. Even Bargan Cave prices are the same as a couple months ago... Steel is not the mover that cheap Brassers are.
The lesson should teach Cabelas something I hope!
Now they need to take back the patch and Balls price increases!!!
