Ruined the store in my opinion. Got rid of many products I bought from Cabela's and replaced them with Basspro brand. Prices are still just as high. Personal there has also told me I wasn't the only one looking for something that they axed in the change over. Might as well change the name on the front to Basspro

Shortly after basspro bought them out my local cabelas cut their stock of guns by more than a quarter. They barely carry anything decent anymore

As a company,, it was on a death spiral before they were purchased.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Cabelas was in great shape when it was private owned. After they took it public, they quit focusing on customer service and more on profits. That's when the death spiral started.

It seems like since Bass Pro has bought out Cabela's that the store has gone downhill. Anybody else feel the same way ? getting ready for and Elk hunt and not much seems available on the website . Yup, they ruined a once great store. It used to be that if you had something with the Cabelas name on it, it was top of the line. Some of the best stuff out there. Now it's Chinese junk like everything else. The selection in the stores sucks also. They have no inventory anymore. I've had a MEC 20GA reloader on backorder now since spring! I placed an order for fishing lures and some other things a few weeks ago and half of that is on backorder! BPS completely ruined Cabelas.

I went to Cabela’s last weekend to buy a few more trail cameras. Their selection was so crappy I didn’t buy any. They didn’t have any moultries, and the only stealth cams they had were the cheap 2 pack ones. Only one camera was on sale and it was not the ones I was interested in.
So, I went to the fishing aisle to check out their rods. They had about 3 rows of the cheapest ugliest green and orange rods you could find. Then they had 2 rows of expensive rods. Nothing in the middle.
Thank God for Canadian Tire!
