Airguns at Cabela's

Well well....that is nice to see. I have not looked at the airgun section of Cabelas in 10 years. Last I remember, their selection was almost all magnum gamo springers.

The variety of their stock has improved over the last few years as airguns have increased in popularity. Sadly, they still don't seem to take airguns seriously. As an example, the last time I was in my "local" Cabela's (Christiana, Delaware) I eavesdropped on one of the salesmen telling a "newbie" to airguns how "awesome the fully adjustable two stage trigger" was on the Benjamin Trail NP XL 1500 was. He then went on to state how it had pin point accuracy out to 100 yards, because it was shooting every bit of 1500 feet per second, and was a very easy rifle to shoot. To a more experienced ear, this is clearly someone who's only experience with Crosman break barrels is what they've read on the side of the box. Kinda sad, because if that guy bought that gun expecting it to be everything the salesman represented it to be, he would likely never buy another air rifle.

My Cabelas here in Raleigh does not have the PCPs, but does have most all of Benjamin's springers and nitros. In fact, I find it hard to believe, but between Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Greensboro we have over 3 million people and not one store that sells any PCPs. We have Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas and Field and Stream. Each of these stores has at least 500 powder burner rifles on display. I guess it is up to us to spread the word!

On another note, I have to say that the stocks on the wood Benjamin models are quite impressive for a $200ish gun.

I saw this and used the link that Chappee posted and sure enough , they even had the best price I've seen on a synthetic Maurauder 2 .25 cal so I shared the link with my brother so he could make the purchase , and they will not ship to Michigan , not even to the Cabelas store, in Grandville MI . I thought the airgun ban had been lifted ? Or is it because of the shrouded barrel ?
