I've recently been in a Bass Pro in CA and a Cabelas in Nevada. Both were stripped of ammo and the Cabelas seemed to have a lot less Cabelas gear. I wasn't looking at optics in either store so couldn't comment to that specifically. I agree that it was a dark day when BPS bought Cabelas cause BPS seemed to suck the guts out of Cabelas and acts like their intent is to turn Cabelas into BPS-light. And from what I can see, BPS is mainly a fishing store that happens to carry some guns and hunting equipment.
