I didn't wait to boycott Cabela's...When I was looking for a Luger shooter on GB, Cabela's in Green Bay Wisconsin had several posted...I emailed the Cabela's manager/seller about getting it sent here in NY if I won an auction (I bid on 3 or 4)...He said no problem; and no charge for shipping it to my local Cabela's store (in-company transfer), no sales tax if I paid by CC (different state), and no FFL receiver's fee......Well, my local store manager said that was wrong; there would be a $75 FFL receiving fee + 8 1/4% state/local sales tax, and a $25 shipping fee...Thank you; good by!

In an entirely unrelated event, I stopped to look at Buck knives in the Cutlery Department one day last Summer...The Cutlery sales person was very annoyed with my questions...and kept directing me to the clam-pack Bucks on a tree a ways off, rather than the Custom Shop specials in his glass case...Thank you; good by!

So, thanks for nothing, Cabelas!!!

(This is the Tonawanda NY store, just on the outskirts of Buffalo NY).
