So I've been waiting for one of those Cabela's club member promotions, you know the 10% off and free shipping on purchase of $99 or more? I got one of those promotions in email today. Firearms have always been excluded from promotions, but black powder guns weren't considered firearms. I couldn't apply the promotion online, so I called sales. They said Cabela's considers black powder guns as firearms for the promotions now. I asked to speak to a manager. Manager understood my position, agreed with it, and went ahead with the promotion for my purchase. Just letting you know that if you run into a snag like this on promotions, don't give up at sales. Talk to a manager.
Cabela's comes through

You keep doing that and Cabela's won't offer any more sales to the unwashed among us!I am very glad that Cabela's seems to have the same business orientation as usual, but I see no sales as of late.

IMO, I see no desire for something like that but for less than a bottle of cheap whiskey, I guess I could go for it, if only for the parts.
Good score, sir!
Cabela's gets their money. I have a Cabela's visa card and save up the points. The more I use it on, the more free guns I get. I usually wait until they have a good promotion going as well.
I totally get that. I had one of these on backorder a while back, and cancelled it. I've been talking myself out of getting it because I'm not too keen on the look either. But with a birds head or thunderer grip, it's just calling to me. Doubt I'll use it for anything other than firing blank loads on 4th of July or something. Cap, 5gr of powder, and a wax slug would be fun too.
It's probably going to be a safe queen until sometime in early July...
I'll post pics when I put the thunderer grips on it though.
Afraid that promotion was for one day, and required the Cabela's card... I think you can get promotions without the card by signing up for the Cabela's club.
