not sure I like this news...really hope they don't run it into the ground and end up as a gloried T-shirt/Tourist shop with tacky hoodies like the physical Cabela's stores have turned into.

I bought their stock when Bass Pro bought Cabellas. Second guessed myself after a while and sold. It's up 300% since I sold and another 37% after hours today on this news. Buy and hold . . .

This sucks.

Scheels it is....

The only sportsman's warehouse I ever visited was in Fairbanks, check that ..also someplace in AZ to buy some OTC tag....they both seemed like decent stores.
If they head in the direction of Bass pro shops and cabelas it will be a down grade for sure.

That's exactly how I feel. RIP O.G. Cabela's... I really like Sportsmans and worried about this one

Well, once Biden and Kamala get done with their proposed gun control tactics, we won't need them anymore anyway....

That’s what she said

Great....not, I absolutely hate ass pro, they royally screwed up Cabelas and now they'll do the same with Sportsman's as they're the walmart of sporting goods, cheap garbage and high prices...I guess I'll do my shopping at Scheels when they finally get it open in Missoula.

 

[winmag]

They’ve ruined Cabelas so why stop there!

The Walmart-isation of the Hook and Bullet industry continues...

 

[marksjeep]

Welp, that stinks. Cash out your loyalty points if you shop at SW.

 

[Pelican]

Not good, not good at all.

 

[Dsnow9]

What a bummer, I thought the Cabelas purchase was bad. Guess I’ll just continue to buy gear straight from the companies I like, go hunt, and ammo I guess is a free for all wherever it can be found right now
