I agree with Sierra on his opinion of Cabela's store. I waited for two years for the Cabelas store in Billings to finally open. Was I disappointed!

All I wanted was some Fed 210's and Fed 215's. None in stock. They were offered in their catelog, for a $20 hazardous shipping fee. All I wanted was 200 primers and a lb of powder, sorry Charlie, available through the online catelog, with two $20 dollar haz mat fees. They didn't have anything in stock that I was shopping for.

I am wondering, if they do this because they are making money on shipping these items?

I also was used to walking up rifle racks in Scheel's and Big Bear and handling any rifle that I wanted too, but had to find a salesman, in Cabelas to allow me to examine a rifle. It goes with out saying that I left w/o making purchase, and have never been back.

I considered myself a good customer, but no more.
