At that time, I believe Cabela's had a no questions asked return for a refund policy on just about everything. I remember talking to Tom Bryant about that. A fair amount of abuse. Guys heading out West hunting would stock up on camping gear etc, then return it on the way home. Back then, they'd also ship a gun from one store to another, so you could look at it, for free. That was also a good deal, although I don't really mind paying $25 if there's something I really want to look at.
