Thanks for posting that, Walter. It is so rare to hear of retailers going the extra mile.
My apology for that comment, Larry. It was unwarranted.

No problem, Stan. That's a question a lot of people would ask. And after they restocked the gun for me, I did comment on it on various BB's. Including this one, I'm sure. But I don't think I ever mentioned it in anything I wrote for publication. But Walt's post makes me think that wasn't so unusual back then. I did a lot of business with Bill and got to know him pretty well. He's one of the good guys in the business. But, as Ted states later, I don't think Cabela's would do that today. Although I have had a couple positive experiences with them: Got my money back on one gun they could not fix properly, and got reimbursed retroactively for their 5% military discount, a couple months after I'd made the purchase. And in that case, I went through the customer service people, who had no idea who I was. Although I do have one of their black credit cards, and that might have helped.
