Well I just called Cabela's and explained the situation to them. I am an avid customer of theirs and spoke to a Customer Service Manager concerning this - gave them the web site of Mid South Shooters so they could verify what I was saying and that this just wasn't a 'ploy' to get 'something for nothing!'

They agreed that that was quite a price difference as well. And of-course - it is!

They placed me on hold and went to look up that web site to verify what I had told them, and came back and stated "They were willing to credit me $50 on the order and $20 of the S&H Fee."

Because so many buyers of guns have abused the 'Return Policy' they now only accept returns within 30 days if not used and/or IF defective they will return it to the manufacturer for repair or replacement" but ONLY normally will match prices in their stores."

Something to keep in mind....

Being that to return it now is over 30 days AND it would cost me prob $20+ for S&H and Insurance fee's - I am happy with a $70 credit on my debit card - and will call it even.

Just figured I'd post this as a 'FYI' to all you members - that Cabela's DOES IN-FACT have this NEW policy (I wasn't aware of it - they state it only shows under their RETURN POLICY and NOT on any BP firearms pages, etc) - which I told them I think it should be then from now on so buyers are very aware of this change in policy!

Anyway - I will def keep Mid South Shooters in mind for future purchases!
