Any more word about BassPro buying them?
I like Cabela's products better than BP, but BP does a better job making a store a "destination", not perfect, but better. Neither one has ever impressed me with their in-store help.
My Cabela's card is set for all the automatic stuff 'cause they (or I) seem to not get the CC# lifted as often as I've experienced with Chase Sapphire. The Chase card has better points and is less of a hassle and has no fees outside the U.S.
'Course, Dave Ramsey says we're all idiots thinking about points, even if we pay the card off every month.

Cabelas is great. I only live a few minutes away. I can't tell you how many guns and other items I have bought from them. Better options than earning points at Cabelas? Not for me. Thanks for posting.
I once drank muddy water out of a hoof print and was dang glad to get it.

Very nice rifle. Cabelas is the best hunting retailer that I have encountered. Unfortunate the closest store is 2 hours away. Latley though they have been offering free shipping and have been ordering stuff that way. I checked the other day and the deal with bass pro is still going forward. I hope when bass pro has majority ownership they don't change cabelas too much.

The lower right were the initial test groups with Federal Blue Box 150 grain bullets. The sight picture on the flyer to the left actually looked pretty good, so I'm not entirely sure what happened. I did change ammo boxes, so it was probably a new lot, but the follow up rounds went with the first batch; who knows. The three shots left of center are with a handload that shoots very well in one of my other rifles. It's nothing special, just a 150 grain SGK pushed by IMR 4064, but it's a legitimate deer hunting load, not a target load. The group measures 0.875 between outside edges, or very slightly over 1/2 inch center-to-center. This is without any tuning; I could also probably tighten this up slightly with more serious technique.

Those are some nice groups. .875" is good enough for me and most every deer in TX.

Your lower right group is 8" left. I like to have my sights point to a different place than where my bullets go. I feel it adds to the suspense and gives my targets a sporting chance.
