Cabela’s

Cabela’s is great. I should just stop there.
I needed some cold weather gear that will keep my hands and face warm while still allowing me to shoot a pistol and rifle effectively. Jim came out of nowhere to help me find what I needed. Really, he literally snuck up on me. I was standing in the camouflage section though. That stuff really works. Jim dropped in on us and was a big help in setting me up with a base layer pants, shooting gloves, and a mask that I can breathe in without fogging up my glasses. Jim was a really big help.
I’m a Cabela’s club member, so I was able to use my points to get my stuff basically 50% off. Like most stores, you already know what they are about. I’m not surprising you by saying Cabela’s is the spot for outdoor gear an shooting supplies. Just go there when you need something.

Wow. First trip back since previous review, so had to update! Watched the lines at the two checkout stations (that were open — there are several more) pile up at about 4pm. One cashier was having a lengthy problem with a customer — no gripe there, as he had to do what he had to do. However, as people kept getting into lines, nothing else happened. I was so frustrated, I started counting the Cabela’s employees I saw walking around (seemingly with nothing to do, but perhaps they were on their way places — although I saw one woman walk by three times…). Six separate Cabela’s staffers walked by, and no one thought to call for another checkout station. Finally, the other cashier, Stephanie, had to get on her own radio to ask about fill-​ins. At this point, there were 8 parties in one line, 6 in the other. This is on a weekday afternoon, no particular rush or special occasion. I am going to steer clear of this Cabela’s at the holidays, that’s for sure. In fact, I think I’ll steer clear of it altogether and shop online. (Other Cabela’s I’ve been to have been much better. – not sure why this one is consistently bad.)

Went in yesterday, looking for a price on a holster, my daughter wants to buy me a birthday present and I can use a new one. The price is important because she’ll need to buy a gift card for the proper amount. Wasn’t priced on the shelf. Who doesn’t have their merchandise priced? One of the biggest and oldest complaints among consumers ever! Walked up and down the aisles looking for an associate to help… no one on the floor. Went to the counter, many people waiting for help, was told it would be a few minutes. Got tired of waiting and left… was in the store about 15 minutes and the experience was not impressive. In fairness I’ve been there before and it was better than this… but the level of concern yesterday in regards to customer service was dismal.

Great selection for all hunting, fishing, and camping gear but a little pricey. Excellent return policy

The worst customer service ever! If you’re in the market for a gun DO NOT go to Cabela’s! If you do, be prepared to be ignored and treated like yesterday’s garbage! Rest assured that anything playing on the TV above the gun counter is more important than you the customer! Oh and if you have to place a special order for an advertised item they don’t have in stock, be prepared to again be ignored until you throw a fit!

If you ever see me going in to Cabela’s it’s only for ONE thing because I ran out of fudge. Look for the «General Store» tucked deep in the back corner of this monstrous warehouse. They offer so many delicious assorted candies, jams, jerky, and mouth watering home made fudge. Everyday it is cranked out fresh and on display, they even give you samples and trust me YOU WILL BUY. $ 3.50 for a generous square is enough for any sweet tooth, what a great deal for immediate happiness!
I have not shopped much in the store but I can tell you my thoughts from when I did, just lots of over priced merchandise. That is not always bad if I can go somewhere and get expert advice I for one do not mind paying a bit more. When it comes to the outdoors whether it be hunting, guns, camping, these associates know their stuff. I can see why this store thrives and being in Idaho it will continue to do so, don’t take my word for it GO see it for yourself.

Four stars for great selection. Zero stars for prices and service. The guys at the gun counter are bored, disinterested, lazy, arrogant… Awful. They remind me of union workers.
The store NEVER has enough people at the cash registers.

Who doesn’t like Cabellas? Prices are on the high side. They have lots of selection, in many different sports, camping. A beautiful store inside. Customer Service is average. We will shop here again.

Had a most unfortunate experience with Adam Burton. He joined my firearm collectors group (Old Arms of Idaho), proceeded to insult me in my group in a conversation specific to Cabela’s and said «I will never help anyone from this group» I removed him from the group knowing that he openly was not going to be helpful. I sent him a message letting him know why in advance. He responds with «Ill be sure to avoid selling anything to you in the future.» I let him know that I would let Rick know my feedback and his response was «Go ahead. Be my guest» Great attitude Adam. Great way to represent Cabela’s. My review is only to focus on this experience alone. My experience with Cabela’s otherwise has been satisfactory. Adam needs to get some feedback through the company as to how he represents the brand in other channels socially especially when he is actively representing the brand.

I’m not a regular shopper at Cabela’s but I’m giving it 5 stars because of the awesome service I got from Justin in the gun department. I was NOT buying a gun but needed help in picking out some hearing protection headphones to take to a rock concert. Justin opened some packages so that I could try them on to make sure they fit but weren’t too tight. He gave me such good service for a $ 19 purchase. It’s rare to find someone to help an senior lady who isn’t making a huge $purchase. Thanks Justin. I found earphones that fit just right.

Summary — Buy all of your outdoor needs including guns from a company that cares about its customers and hires polite helpful people!
I use to be a huge supporter of Cabela’s. Whenever I bought a gun I would buy it from Cabela’s. However, my last few visits were awful. There is this over-​weight kid at the gun counter. He has curly hair and I think his name is Forest. Well in fairness he is a grown man, but his attitude is that of a child.
I put a gun on layaway to spread out the payments. I did not need the gun right away and figured why not take advantage of a policy Cabela’s offers to fit better with my budget.
Next, Cabela’s has a price match policy. I found a gun for 100 $ less at walmart. Since I have always shopped at Cabela’s I asked if they would price match it. At that time I would have rather given my business to Cabela’s over walmart. Cabela’s matched the price and I started to make payments on the gun.
After a couple of weeks I went to make my final payment on the gun. At this time Forest, remember he was the over-​weight man child I mentioned above briefly, changed the price I had to pay. He reverted the price match and for some reason wanted to make me feel like a criminal for getting it at that price. So without going into how this is extremely ILLEGAL and UN-​ETHICAL I presented my receipt. After arguing with this under educated baboon for a few minutes his managers came over. His managers then argued with me and a half hour later after being treated like a thief, upper management reminded the poorly trained staff that any price match agreed upon was a legally binding contract and the responsibility of the staff to honor. So that was great, nothing like wasting time to pay the balance off an item you held the receipt for in your hand…
So, if Forest is working or if Forest is helping you, expect sub par service. In addition, if in the event he can find a way to screw you out of something legally promised to you, that you have proof of receipt for in your hand, he will try to alter the price to make you pay more for it.
Totally on a side note, if you do go to the gun counter get Bob. Bob is the man!

This place is great, Its like candy for a baby here except for grown adults, Im a huge gun fan as well as outdoor camping and fishing.
It seems like every time i come here, i can’t seem to leave, and i always spend more then i thought that i would. kinda like going to target.
The prices here are great, seems like there always having a sale on something nice. I just recently got new P-​Mags for my AR, the prices that they offer are way to good to beat. and there selection is huge. bigger than i have ever seen at any gun location. they have more guns and more ammo.
They have a huge selection of ducks as well hunting camouflage and utilities.
The service here is super helpful and very friendly, I had questions upon ammo as well as different rails and calibers when i came in and they had an answer for everything.
I will definitely be coming back for more ammo as well as parts for my guns as well as the baby clothes selection and the fishing selection

Driving back to Vegas from the Holidays I thought I would check the store out New Years day. It was pretty much what I expected. They don’t have this store in Vegas, Only Bass Pro Shops. Not alot of merchandise to choose from as they were having their clearance sale so I will need to order some online. They do have alot of ammunition though.

Merry Christmas? I went here Christmas Eve for some last minute shopping. I stood in a line for 10 minutes when a portly fellow who was checking customers out threw up a «closed» sign and yelled out that the person he was currently takin money from was his last customer. Instead of finishing up with those who were currently in hi line.
So, I had to go start my wait over. What a dick!
It gets better… I made the purchase, left and realized they over charged me. So, once again I had to stand in line…
I prefer SPORTSMAN’S WAREHOUSE.
As if that weren’t enough! I A sweater online from Gemelas as a gift and it came with black spot on it! WTF?!
Sportsmans here I come…

This is a really fun place to look around and visit. It’s huge, and has lots of stuff for hunting, fishing, and shooting. But for other non-​hunting outdoor activities such as backpacking they tend to carry lesser quality items at a high price; just go to REI. Fun to visit, not the best price and quality.

This place is really nice great selection great gun store to prices are good wish it was like this in California

I LOVE Cabela’s my husband and I bought a lot of camping gear from here and we are set for camping!!:-)

This is a store for people that would buy some sort of loud motorcycle before their hair turns fully grey. Overpriced and undergeared for most outdoor activities outside of the ‘glamour’ outdoor pursuits.

When at this Cabela’s, check out the Elmer Keith collection. Plenty of stuff for the hunter/​fisherman. This is a full size Cabela’s like at Lacey, WA. Nice display at center of store of various stuffed animals.

I was killing time and decided to check out Cabela’s. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
I’ve never seen anything like this store. This place is HUGE, it address all your outdoor needs; camping, hunting (guns, bows, knives), and fishing, to name a few.
They have exhibits for all types of things, one area showed the big game animals people hunt in Africa. It was honestly like a museum exhibit. They have a gun show room, which had all sorts of crazy things, they even have a taxidermy area — WTF!
My favorite area was the fishing tanks, they have HUGE tanks filled with different fish, and I’m talking big fresh water fish. All the kids were going crazy, it was feeding time, and he fish were hungry, CHOMP, CHOMP!
If I was with my kids, I’d go here just to kill time, it was honestly overwhelming with all the neat aspects that I don’t get living in California. I can’t comment on their pricing, as I was here to gawk only, but I can assure you, their selection set is vast.
