Does anyone have any experience with shipping times for non restricted rifles shipping from Cabela's online? My city only has one gun shop and we're about 4 hours drive to the big city, wanted to buy a low cost deer rifle and it's about on sale for about 450 at Cabela's with free shipping and close to 700 in town for the same gun lol. I just wondered if anyone's used their online purchase and got their rifle in a timely matter or if I'm gunna go into deer season wondering where the heck is my gun I should of just ponied up and bought local or made the drive.

Just ordered a Winchester xpr and it took 5 days in Saskatchewan. The general shipping timelines apply to shipping to home also

From the Cabelas website:

“Orders normally take 24 - 48 business hours to process in the warehouse.

In-Store Pick Up: If the items are shipping from our distribution center to stores for pick-up these general timelines apply Cabela’s stores: • Abbotsford, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg: 5-8 business days • Nanaimo, Barrie, Ottawa: up to 12 business days

Bass Pro Shops stores: • Tsawwassen, Calgary, Vaughan, Niagara-on-the-Lake: 10 business days • Moncton, Halifax: 15 business days Ship to Home: If it is shipping to your address, you will receive a tracking number once it is ready to be shipped.”

Okay cool, was just curious because when I went into the checkout options it had a notification on the top that said they are experiencing high volumes and something along the lines of people may experience shipping delays. Thanks for getting back to me.
