I have no particular love/hate for Cabela’s since their stores are too far from me to purchase from. Their catalog prices are OK but again it’s not like I can’t purchase similar products at competitive prices elsewhere.
If they decide to run the company into the ground, that’s the fault of the senior management and the board of directors. Let them have at it, someone else will step into the void left when the company goes bankrupt.
Many LGS's are already in place and ready to do just that. You can't stop rock and roll. Their prices and selection are rarely as good as Cabelas however. The best prices on Hornady bullets and smokeless powders tend to be found at Cabelas IMO though Bass pro has been a darned good source of powder too even through the great drought of 2013-2014.
