I really can't give you an answer as to who will have the best deals, but usually the box stores, such as Cabelas, Gander Mountain, etc...usually do have after season sales on things, so maybe keep a look out for sales. Cabels has their "Bargain Cave" on their website and seem to update it regularly, as it always seems to be a different mix of things whe I check it a couple times a week. I got my summit bullet packer climber @ Cabelas for $290. I am pretty sure that I could have gotten it cheaper at another time or a different place, but I can be a bit "impulsive" in buying things that I want!
