That bites. I've never been impressed with BP and hope they don't turn cabelas into a ho-hum store. Really like their reloading,optics and camping sections

I don't understand all of the BP hate on here. I like BP, they don't have the best prices in the world, but I think they are competitive (unless you are talking about guns, then they are just nuts).

The hate comes from having it shoved down our throats and then taking it in the ass for the bill. To get what? A Walmart with a waterfall? I guess that makes it Target.

I won't go into any of the big box stores any more. There's no reason. They are cheesy, ridiculously priced, and have limited stock if you want high quality or specialized parts or gear.

Just got back from Cabelas. Nice store. Everyone there is overly friendly and helpful. Good selection of handguns, Benchmade and ESEE knives. Plenty of ammo....well except 22. Prices are ridiculous. I admit I usually shop online but I'd be crazy to spend what they want for particular guns and knives.

Bass Pro is certainly mediocre for gun related stuff, but is a great resource for fishing stuff. Their name is after all is BASS Pro Shops. I admire their humble beginnings selling tackle out of a liquor store.

Wish Gander Mountain was in Tulsa and had store like Wichita's with gun range and all.

Yeah. Gander Mountain isn't in Tulsa... it's in West Tulsa.

This news is back. It looks like Goldman Sachs and Bass Pro are trying to make this leveraged buy out right now. It's unknown whether or not Cabelas stores would keep their name or just be re-badged as BP.

Been to Dick's and Gander Mountain each one time. Don't plan to go back.
