11/21/09 Stopped today for a look around and ammo was quite plentiful. 9mm 40s&w 45acp 357mag 38sp 223 value pack even some 380 speer jhp 19.99 per 25rds I think the ammo crisis is done.

Either that or they are getting stocked up for Black Friday...which is more likely the reason IMHO

Well hey, that's why they're all stocked up!

 

[Indecision]

I've heard this store is awesome, I hope they open one up in central IN.

 

[emclean]

the store is great, but you have to keep an eye on the prices.

Cabelas in Hammond makes me mad! I have to pay sales tax on internet orders and they're too far for me to go there! I hope the close that store!

Don't blame Cabela's forthe "sales tax" that is the fault of the STATE! The rule is if a biz has a physical presence (g. store) in the state then any sales to residents of that state (online, via catalog, in the store) must have sales tax which they in turn must hand over to the state.

Thus why on eBay you will sometimes see "We do not sell to Indiana" from sellers who live in Indiana. By doing this they don't have to collect sales tax & hand it over to the state since they do not do any biz within IN.

They were going to put in a Cabelas in Greenwood IN. The deal fell apart due to the economy. I bought 4 hanguns and a lot of acessories from Cabelas in Glendale Arizona. Its a great store. You buy the bulk ammo (500 rounds) they throw in a free ammo can. It makes a nice day trip to go and look around.

You are so right on. Being a trucker, I'm in a Cabela's somewhere in the usa every week. I bought a ruger 77/50cal from hammond, it took them an hour to figure out it was a muzzleloader. Then they made me do a nics check. Also in the gun libary was a used Marlin stanless 308mx priced 154.00 more than a new one off the shelf. I always price check with the scanner,and hold them to the lower price.

Cabelas prices are kinda high but there are deals to be had. Discover card rewards lets you get gift cards at 20% under face value ($50 card cost $40 in cashback rewards) If you get a cabelas card you can earn cash at a cabelas store. (plus you get $25 to sign up). They do have some good sales you just have to watch out for them (they had free shipping and $30 off $150 order at the same time) Bing cash back gives you 4-7% cash back on purchases. I pretty much use cabelas to get Black hills and other hard to find more expensive ammo since they aren't many outlets for that stuff.

Although I have never been there, prices seem to expensive to make it worth while.

The same as many bigbox stores, you need to be an educated shopper. Know what you want and what its worth. If you go in, browse and fill a cart, chances are youve overpaid. But if you check out the sale flyer, go in for that item (and verified that the sale is a bargain - had an LCR with laser grip on "sale" $679). Its a worthwhile place to visit but I only buy there when I find a bargain. Typically can get better prices at the local gun shop.

The credit card is nice though. I've had it for two years and in that time I run everything through the card that i buy. It's paid for two new guns and I'm working on the third probably shortly after the new year.

I was in the Hammond store last night Sunday and.380 ammo was already running low they do have good deals on clothes sometimes though I've gotten two pairs of boots, one for winter and one for summer. Both pair are comfortable and holding up well

 

[mbaza3]

The ammo was there but the prices where 15-20 percent higher than this time last year.

Yeah, the ammo crisis is over... Most of the local shops have ammo out the wazoo now too...
