I won't make any comments on the GL's that I have looked at or handled, and have never shot one. The only part that I don't understand, are the comments about the unavailability of these guns once they hit the market. I saw GL's for sale on plenty of dealer's tables, at many shows, for the original pricing, or less, along with all of the other cardboard boxed stuff, and never noticed anyone flocking to check them out. And the original question asked, "what?"... the Cabelas stores like to buy cheap and advertise to people interested in instant gratification... rather than those who shop around.
