! ! ! Cabela's sale alert ! ! !

Wow, a sale price on all models. Been looking at the engraved 36 navy with the white grips awhile, might have to go for it now but I been checking out a Great Western II 45 with white grips at my local gun shop. Decisions all the time, wonder how long the sale is gonna last.
 
Thanks for the heads-up, CajunPowder. My neighbor has been anxiously awaiting his opportunity to join the BP community.
 
I called Cabelas and asked when the sale ends and was told the internet sales do not have an indicated end date. I called the local Cabelas and was told they are not on sale at the store.

If you want one, now's the time to pull the trigger.

Thanks for the heads up CajunPowder! Now for the question; having had a Pietta from Cabelas, would you do it again?

Oneth by day and twoeth by night and another at Christmas and one for my birthday ... the addiction CONTINUES! :D

I'm sticking with Dixie and hoping for the best in my exchange. I'm going all the way with Uberti for a while so that any additional pieces I get will have more or less interchangeable parts, cylinders, etc... And so I can limit all the variables as I begin to learn to smith a bit on these pieces so I can maintain my own stocks if needed.

I am SORELY tempted to get the basic blue Remmie at only $189 but the rationalization that I have to pay Louisiana tax and shipping puts it near $215.00 stays my hand. The little blue Remmie ... only $199 ...

I'm really beginning to think it's all about each piece. Lemons apparently come from either Pietta or Uberti and it's a poker game when playing the returns game.

I'm thinking this sale is to clear 2009 inventory out completely so they can take in an order of 2010 stocks, spring cleaning. So be ready to exchange if you order.

Cabela's has a HUGE amount of stock compared to the others and I've heard that one can make an initial exchange with absolutely no questions asked at Cabela's PLUS complain to the degree that no additional shipping will be charged in either direction and I've heard a SECOND exchange is possible.

Cabela's sends a return shipping sticker in the box with the revolver and then they deduct $7.00 from your refund if you use that. I complained and they said they would not deduct that from my refund. But they did anyway, and they deducted $7.50 ! So I sent them an email back and told them to get their books straight and refer to my incident number where the associate handling the return had said I would NOT have to pay the return shipping. If exchanging I'm guessing it would have been a non-issue as they would cover the shipping on the exchange piece if I would have decided to go that route.

I wish they carried Uberti. But then again, I don't pay tax at Dixie.

My very first experience was with Cabela's and I just chose to move on to the next vendor and "return for refund" when I made that first purchase of the stainless non-target at $299.00, (on sale).

I just want to see this through with Uberti, I may get a Pietta one day and again, I really think it is a per-piece basis.

One could order 10 at time and 1 or a few might be lemons, a few might be 2 or 3 stars and 1 or 2 of those 10 might be really nice straight out of the box.

Thank you for your comments, CajunPowder. I'm not sure of your proximity to the Cabelas store in LA, but they do offer free shipping to their stores. If you're nearby, you could at least save the shipping fee. Cabelas relatively recently started offering free shipping to their stores. I was a bit miffed when they opened their Arizona store as I used to shop at the Nebraska store, while driving through the area. When they opened the AZ store, special order items required tax & shipping.

At that price, it's tempting to order one and see what shows up!
 
Pietta's replacement C&B cylinders are also much more affordable when compared to Uberti's. Although the stainless steel Pietta Remington cylinders are a bit more expensive, they still cost less than even a blue Uberti cylinder.
Pietta may not be known for their Colts, but their Remingtons are not only very popular, but by and large most folks really do seem to love them.
Their level of customer satisfaction is very high and their overall percentage of the Remington market is a testament to that. :)

That SS Pietta keeps calling out to me....ClemBeeeeeert, ClemBeeeeert....

Maybe if I hold on long enough the sale will go away and solve that problem.

Unbelievable

CLEMBERT !

I can barely see it ... but I think that on the side of the barrel it's stamped ...

CleeeeemBeeeeeeeeeert !
:rolleyes:

PERHAPS this Cabela's Sale precipitates the sales that other vendors will have to run in order to dump their stocks and restock.

Keep your eyes open everybody for BP on sale.
:eek:
 
see ya while ago

Cajun Powder, I thank you for the sale info. I'd bet this sale won't last very long. I've got a '51 steel navy .36 and a '60 steel on the way. I had to pay sales tax this time, Cabelas didn't used to add sales tax on internet orders. Oh well I saved 110.00 between the two guns so what's 15.00, right? I think I might really pixx my wife off and order the '61 navy .36 and '58 remmy .36 too. :eek: What are credit cards for....anyway.....
 
WOW!

Ouch!! Grrrrrrr, the temptation, OH the temptation!! :p

A steel 1860 for $189? Insane! An 1858 steel target model (outstanding for conversion) for $219? Nuts!

But NO JOY on the Walkers!! :(

I'll be in the dog house for sure if I weaken and break but man oh man, what a sale. If only we had some free shipping to go with it. :rolleyes:

Cheers,
Oly

My pietta 1858 came from Cabella's and I love it! I bought it slightly used though so I'm not certain the guy who had it before me didn't do any fine tuning, but he didn't mention it if he did.
