Frank, I know that this thread has not been here for three weeks but I thought I would reply anyway........lol.

BY the way that is a good one BG......Frank Is Retired.

I did the same thing that Len did. COmpared prices. NOT much difference at all. As much as everyone hates to admit it price is EVERYTHING. I get hammered everyday to match a price on one thing or the other. Service gets them and keeps them but Price is usually going to win in the end.

On a side note I was at CABELAS last weekend and if they would have to rely on service then FORGET IT!!. I was there almost 4 hours and NOT ONE "cabelas outfitter" as they call each other. Approached me and asked me if I needed anyhing. And they were not busy. I was the only one in flyshop and not 1 of the 5 "outfitters" asked me if I needed anything. [:'(][:@] I guess they are to used to the catalog sales where they just fill and place orders and do not have to "DEAL" with an actually living human being.[8D] BUt I am not bitter. BY the way, the "bargain cave" is a joke IMHO. All it is is a bunch of returned items that is barley discounted.

I will have to say that the store is very nice and great to look at but that is it. If they ever had to rely on customer service they would be hurting.

Just my ramblings[8D][&:]
