I was checking some prices and could not believe how over priced they are in my opinion. You tell me what you think.

Lets start with Triple Se7en.
Cabelas $26.99 Natchez $19.99 Midsouth $20.43

BlackHorn209
Cabelas $37.99 Natchez $26.99 Midsouth $30.98

Primers (CCI)
Cabelas $ 37.99 Natchez $29.99 Midsouth $30.18

Sabots (Harvester 50cal)
Cabelas $7.99 Natchez $ Midsouth $4.75

Bullets (250grn SST)
Cabelas $14.99 per 20 Natchez $11.06 Midsouth $11.18

I really think i went far enough. What a joke. I am the worst at linking to Cabelas because of convenience. What do you guys think?

First three items on your list are a bad comparison. You can't buy them without paying a $20 hazard material fee.

Well I have found that unless an item is on clearance, normally Cabela's is pretty expensive. I've been in their stores, and the first thing you look for is sale items. Although some of the clothing I have purchased from them is really great quality and lasts much longer then that purchased at some of the other stores.

if you got a store close by like i do, then it's cheaper on a lot of things.

RE: Is Cabelas really for the Muzzleloader Hunter?
 

I'm only talking stuff for the ML hunter. That's the way it is. Gotta pay that fee no matter who you order from.

I buy all my bullets from Midway or Midsouth, every bullet order I buy a pack or two of sabots, Crushed Ribs are my favorite, since they shoot well in so many things (.452 and .458 bullets). I buy powder and primersfrom Gander Mountain in Winchester Va, about 25 miles away to avoid the $20 fee. Cabelas has excellent clothes, which is what I tend to buy from them with the gift certificates I get at Christmas.

I have a Cabela's credit card that gives me points (free money) All of my gas and groceries go on it and gets paid off at the end of the month. Sofar they've given me about$600 in free stuff and I haven't paid them the first penny in intrest. So Cabela's isn't overpriced to me becauseI get it for free :D:D

RE: Is Cabelas really for the Muzzleloader Hunter?
 

Cabela's is good for some things and bad for some things; just like every other store it seems.

Cabela's price on xtp bullets, makes them the most economical muzzle loader bullet to shoot. Cabela's price on BH 209 is about as high as there is. Cabela's had the Accura on sale for $269, and they shipped it to the store in town for free. No where else in the world would sell it for less money and free shipping.

I don't condem Cabela's when their price on an item is higher than another store; i just don't purchase that particular item from them.

In the past month, i purchased an Accura from Cabela's at a far better price than any where else. I purchased xtp bullets from Cabela's at a competitive price. I purchased 10 bottles of BH209 from Natchez; paid the hazmat fee; shipping and insurance fee, and saved some shy of $100, instead of purchasing the powder here locally from Cabela's and paying sales tax. Also purchased a TC ramrod from Cabela's at a competitive price.

I really only purchase clothing and then if only if it's on sale...

RE: Is Cabelas really for the Muzzleloader Hunter?
 

You have to watch the Sales, I just purchased a Leo VX111 2.5x8 for $299 -30dollar coupon -club points, free shipping final price about $200. Again watch the sales and they are very hard to beat. What was genesis selling for?

I have the Cabela's Visa Club Card also. I buy a lot of hunting clothes there, but rarely MZ stuff or other shooting related items, because Midsouth andNatchez have much better pricing.

So no... Cabelas is not for the MZ hunter.

IMO, anywhere that sells muzzleloading supplies is "For the muzzleloader hunter" no matter how expensive it is. Otherwise they probably wouldn't sell it. If you think it's too expensive, do like me and shop around a little. There's always a greatdeal to be found somewhere.

RE: Is Cabelas really for the Muzzleloader Hunter?
 

Any company can have things cheaper on some and more on others...for me, the conviencance, and the SERVICE I get from Cabelas is worth the extra price on some things. I have never had a bad experience from cabelas...and of course, the club points do add up...got new shoes for work for free b/c of the points dollars I had accumulated. But, that Natchez sure has some good prices it looks like on muzzleloader stuff.

I used to live 20 minutes from a Cabelas and I miss the convenience. It is truly one-stop shopping. I agree most things in their store are priced higher than you may find at other stores. HOWEVER, they carried a large variety of ML products which means you have lots of options. So when I pay a buck or two more for something there I keep in mind that they charge a higher price (on most everything) because they maintain a huge inventory.

Now that I don't live close to cabelas I no longer consider them a primary resource for ML supplies. I know what I need and I can get it locally or online for less at other places. I wil drive there (45 min) when my credit card fills up with "bucks" and then typically buy clothing or other toys. For me it is still fun to just go there with the kids, look at the fish and mounts and scour the cave for deals.

To each his own, I never started there because of the prices. I shop Powder Valley, Graf & Sons, Midway and Midsouth and have been thinking about taking a 45 minute drive to MMP. Lee
