Gun and gear reviews "Wild Wednesday" flash sale at Cabelas (www.basspro.ca)

Post image

I just learned this: every Wednesday 0001 hrs to 2359 hrs Eastern Time, Cabelas puts on a flash sale for 24 hours.

  • Sometimes there are really good one-day deals on ammo, optics, firearms, gun furniture, targets, and gun cases.
  • The Cabelas associate I spoke with said that he once sold $8000 in optics to one buyer on a Wednesday.
  • A particular Leupold scope went for nearly a thousand dollars off, so dude stockpiled them. I'm guessing he resold them at $500 discount each.

Watch the basspro website tonight for Wild Wednesday details

I don't support Bass Pro anymore.

  1. Overpriced compared to literally any other retailer - so their "deals" are almost the same as base price at Tenda or G4c for example
  2. They fired a shit ton of Canadians

The canadian website was built and constructed by a team here in winnipeg up until recently. Since migrating the canadian site to an American development team, it has lost features and decreased filter options and ease of use. The current site sucks compared to the old one. Piss poor UX now

We're consistently like 10-60 dollars a box cheaper than them on ammo despite them being a big store and us being a mom and pop its wild

Their ammo is insanely to overpriced. Pretty sure last time I was in there PMC Bronze 223 (which I buy 20rd boxes for online for $12-13/20rd, or closer to $11 when in bulk) was $29/20 at bass pro. Fucking insane. Even their cheapest 223, federal American Eagle, was $19.99/20.

I don't want to see them go under as they sometimes do have good prices and I want all gun shops to stay open, they did have SKS this winter on a brief sale for $530 for nice wooden stocked Chinese ones which was a crazy good deal in this day and age, but man they have to sort out their ammo prices. I'll occasionally buy guns or a scope from them, but very rarely ammo.
