! ! ! Cabela's sale alert ! ! !

Some things are confusing I guess . . . . you say that the sale prices are not good at the store . . . yet . . . they will ship it to the store free at the sale price???? Go figure. I'm not bad mouthing Cabelas . . . I've purchased several BP revolvers from them but much prefer to do it at the store so I can actually see and handle what I'm getting instead of taking a crap shoot on what comes in the mail. So far, I've been lucky as the pistols have been top notch. I went to the store to purchas a '49 Baby Dragoon once - it was an Uberti and about $300.00 at the time. When I looked at it, handled it tried the loading lever, timing, etc. - I handed it right back. I'm not bad mouthing Uberti either - it just happened to be one of those lemons that comes along every once in a while. I walked out with a Pietta '58 Remmie Navy that was top notch. Had I ordered the Baby Dragoon by mail and received the one that I looked at, it would have gone back immediately. I'm sure that Cabelas would have stood behind it as they are good about that. Now I see, that they don't show the Baby Dragoon on their webpage and it was there before the sale started. Perhaps it got "bumped" due to the sale? At any rate, their sale prices are good prices and I'm looking at ordering another '51 Navy - if the quality of that is as good as the Pietta "58 Navy I got from them, I'd be tickled to death. The price is good for sure. I just can't get past that the stores are not honoring the sale price on their webpage if that is true as the one gentleman stated. In these times, a sale is a sale. If they can offer 'em at that price on the internet, they ought to be able to do it in the store as well. Lord knows, they give enough away if you've ever taken a look at their "bargain rooms" and seen the boots, etc. that have been worn and then returned. Just my 2 cents which aint' worth much. At any rate, dive in gentlemen while the prices are down 'cause who knows when it will end? :D
 
My Cabela's (Boise, Idaho) honors the sale prices. When I pointed out to the cashiers that there was a lower price on the web, they just looked it up really quick and applied the price.

Maybe it's just my store, but I bought an 1858 in December and an 1860 in January and they adjusted the price each time.
 
I shop the Cabelas website for items not in the store and have it shipped to the store to save shipping costs. I'm pretty sure the FT Worth store will honor web prices as business is slow and they're not likely to pass up a chance to make a sale. Haven't tried it but Hardcase's experience is encouraging. Won't know until we walk in and try.
 
Yes they do honor the web prices.. I always just print out the web price and bring it with me..

BTW thanks the OP for the heads up!:D
 
In the CT store they wouldn't honor the web site sale prices from the Bargain Cave. They said that they would for regular sale items but they wouldn't for the Bargain Cave sale items that I tried to buy. And I even went to the customer service desk with the items first but after trying to work it out they said that it was a no go.
 
Added me another purdy 8" 1858 to the herd...Good sale and on top of that I used a $30 Cabelas discount card I got in the mail... Card said not good for firearms but since a BP pistol is not legally a firearm they applied the discount..
 
Regarding that SS 1858 shorty that kept calling my name:

The sweet sound of that siren calling ClemBeeeert was irresistible. She's on the way to her new home. With a "normal" price of $419.99 on sale at $279.99 and a $40 off coupon. It was hard to resist the $240 price tag. Top that with free shipping (I don't know why but why look a gift horse in the mouth). I'll let y'all know how it turns out. I'm holding my breath though since it's a Pietta product.

I heard the Pietta cylinders are longer than the Uberti cylinders and will take a maximum load of 342.8 grains of smokeless and a 700 conical!

I even heard you could launch small tactical nukes from the stainless steel ones!
:cool:

Let's not exaggerate....think you heard "grenade launcher". ;)

Doubt I'll keep it but I also picked up one of these:

Too Good to be True?

I've got a Cabela's Club Visa discount card, but it requires a $200-299.99 purchase to get a $30 discount. It further states, "Not valid for FIREARM purchases", "Not valid for internet purchases" and "Offer cannot be used in combination with any other promotion or previous offers".

I don't mind buying an extra $10 worth of product to get the deal, but the three terms that follow make me think it's not worth trying to argue it. Maybe I need to pour the employee a couple drinks to make them see that a BPR isn't a firearm, honor the internet price at the store (after I was told by an employee that they wouldn't honor internet promotions)and that the discount should be applied, despite the sale!

If they'd apply the $30 discount, I'd buckle and buy a Pietta.:eek:

My apologies to Byronw999 for doubting you that Cabelas would honor the Cabelas Visa $30 discount.

I was working near the Cabelas store this afternoon and decided it would behoove me to examine their Pietta 1858 Remingtons:D. They had two in stock and they both looked great, so I asked if they'd honor the internet sale price and he said, "yes". So I asked if black powder revolvers were considered to be firearms and he said, "no, we'll let you walk it up to the front cashier and buy it there" (rather than back at the gun counter. I had showed him the Cabela's Visa coupon and he said the only reason they wouldn't honor the coupon would be if it stated "not valid with other promotions" - so I pointed out where it does say exactly that! He replied, "well, this is an internet promotion rather than a store sale, so we'll honor the discount"!

If you want one of these guns and do not have a Cabela's Visa card, you can apply for one at the store and receive a $50 discount off of your purchase - you'll have a better deal than Byron and I received!

Happy shopping!
 
Did azsixgun? or didn't azsixgun?

azsixgun:

I'm glad you got to handle some metal!

Well, did you, or didn't you?

I say ya didn't because I know you like to think things over.

If BOTH of those Pietta's looked good to you, I'd have to say that somebody at that store checked them out and made sure what was on display was good, or maybe it was just luck.

I know you want the stainless target and I doubt they had that one on display or in stock at the store.

I'm waiting for my exchange right now and it will probably be 10 days to two weeks because I told them not to rush the exchange and to look through their stock this time a little better.

So did'ja ... or didn'cha ?
:D
 
Oh, I pulled the trigger and brought it home with me! :D The price was too good to pass up, even though what I'd really like is a stainless Uberti (acutally was just wanting a standard rear sight and Uberti brand for the dovetailed front sight for windage adjustment).

They had box marked stainless steel 1858 and the price read $199! When I asked about the price, he said it was for something else, but I asked to have a look anyway. It turned out to be a 5 1/2" barrel and I was looking for a full size. I gave it a brief once over and it looked nicely finished.

After seeing that stainless revolver, I do ache for what I really wanted. The ss Uberti would be $369 (w/shipping), while this blued Pietta was about $176 - less than half of the Uberti.

What I need to do is peddle this on Gunbroker for $250 (along with all of the other overpriced NIB Piettas), then buy what I really want!

I'm hoping DWG is taking their time (this time), looking things over and making a nice selection for you!
 
resell - upsell

azsixgun:

You could tweak it a bit and document that with some pictures and that will give you a chance to learn or relearn about how to do that.

And with a polished, (stoned), action and such it would then certainly fetch a profit.

My next purchase after the SS will be a forged frame Uberti more than likely and I do REALLY want the 5 1/2 inch.

I'm glad you got one, it's great to have some metal to look at and hold after you've been wanting one.

And best of all, you could always return it!
 
CajunPowder, you bring up a good point about the forged frame. Do you know for certain that the Pietta has a cast frame? Does that go for the stainless frame as well?

This Pietta would certainly benefit from stoning the internal parts. Just looking at the exposed portion of the hand, it looks like it's been smoothed with a rough file.
