It is about half of what I saw last year for a LRH in 338LM. Since that was BEFORE Ca began registering rifles (started 1-1-14), I am not at liberty (read not stupid enough) to mention publicly if I bought it. I can say that at $650 or even $800, I would buy a 6.5-284 just cause the price is a steal and the caliber is quite intriguing. If nothing else, it would make one dandy trade for something else in the caliber you want.

Good thing they could not care less about one person.
Cabelas generally does a good job, but if you are expecting experts at the gun or optics counters you will end up sadly disappointed. I can make the same statement about almost every gun and optics counter, even specialty shops.
The things that I have seen and heard at various LGS have included: "A .458 WM is the perfect long range rifle because it is powerful enough to shoot from ridge to ridge", "IMR 4350 has been discontinued because the manufacturer went out of business", "A Winchester Model 70 is now called the Model 60, so that 70 must be really old", "A used rifle is always better than a new one because it is broken in", etc.

I have always had good luck with my local Cabelas (Dundee, Michigan) but I travel a great deal for work and frequent any "local" store when on travel and they are certainly not all created equal.
