Cabelas Service

[Andy L]

I was in Kansas City on Monday and went to Cabelas. I have been looking into buying a particular rifle, CZ in 204 Ruger. Just not sure if I want the American or Varmint, leaning toward American. I always kick around ideas for a long time, but then buy pretty fast when I make up my mind.

Anyway, I went to the gun counter and there were 4 people working the counter. I stood there patiently, looking as best I could at the guns on the rack. I happened to overhear a conversation with a employee and two customers, they were looking at the same thing. The salesman brought out a Varmint for them to look at. I kept my distance, but was watching intently as he showed them features and they handled it. While they were handling it, he walked away for a moment to get something else, and walked by me. I asked, "is that the Varmint?" I got a sarcastic yes and he rolled his eyes as if I had commited a crime or something.

I stood there another 10 minutes, waiting for a free salesman. Well, this guy got done first. By then I had made up my mind to buy that gun. I had the cash in my pocket and was going to tell him to get the paperwork started. He walked by me again and said "someone will be with you in a moment". He then went into the back a moment and came back out and stopped and started helping someone else.

I was pizzed to say the least. I hate rude salesmen, especially when Im getting ready to spend some cash with them. I left and never got a glace from that or any other salesman. I am going to order the rifle from another FFL. He agreed to give me the same price.

Just remember, when you go to Cabelas to buy a gun, keep your mouth shut until the gun Nazis approach you, or it will be "No gun for you".
