Cabelas military discount program seems to be going liberal P.C.

[wildwoody]

F cabala's and any one on here that doesn't believe our veteran's should get a discounts. Who's there real nit pikers, bunch of BS answers on this topic

[cjl2010]

I dont think anyone said they shouldnt get a discount.

Oh!!

Ok back on topic.. I thought some of tne choices of what we coulndt use our discount on was suspect in today's gun climate. Intent behind the decision is what I would like to know. If its all about not enough profit in powder, ammo, bullets etc then i get it BUT seems odd with timing and all. Kinda like the stores that put up no firearms allowed signs for insurance purposes.

 

Just simple question would love to know answer to. L.O.L.

 

And gotta just ignore few of these guys on here especially the ones I have stood up for and had big boy discussions with about changing their lives and mistakes they have made. L.O.L. dang they sure get nasty when they forget who didn't judge butvrather gave them 2nd chance in their book.

I can guarantee its all about margins as has already been pointed out. The margin on ammunition is tiny. Firearms, its a little better, but getting worse with sales shrinking. There is no conspiracy.

Mostly because of the margins on the product. Most of those items only have a 15% to 20% markup. They arent honoring the military discount any more on those items because they are trying to help there stores bottom dollar

Yeah it's kind of weird cuz I don't remember ever buying anything at Bass Pro Shop that they did not give military discount on and Bass Pro Shop had military discount everyday. Cabela's used to only do Veterans Day Memorial Day excetera. Cabela's now does daily military discount if you're registered you have to show proof and have it in the system but considering it's a 5% discount I thought it was kind of weird when they took it away from these items. Matter of fact the list of items is so long I'm not sure what you can buy with military discount except for clothing LOL

 

 

Buying anything from Bass Pro is like shopping at the airport. Easy to give a discount when you're still bending the customer over.

L.O.L. right... Im pretty much a clearance rack guy there and Cabelas. I do like Cabelas Euro HD glass though. 👍 Don't really care for much else except a few Rizzini's is I saw in 20ga in Gun Library ❤ but at $4k each I could not take home with me.
