Today when I was picking up my new Henry Single Shot and some ammo I asked the lady checking me out if she gave me my Veterans Discount.
She informed me that Cabela's was no longer giving Veterans Discounts on firearms or ammunition. I asked when this happened and she said it was pretty recent. I asked if it was due to the Bass Pro / Cabela's merger and she said maybe or it might be corporate's way of showing they are doing something regarding the recent mass shootings. Regardless, they no longer give the discount. She also said that Veterans should call Customer Service and complain. I thought it interesting that staff behind the counter just happened to have a piece of paper on a clipboard with the Customer Information contact info handy for Veterans to write down or photograph for future reference.
Anyway, I will be contacting them about this. I have bought quite a few guns from them and one of the reasons has been the Veterans discount and the added points on my Club card. I do appreciate that they offered this is the past and I would like to see them keep the benefit.
If you click this link and then click on; "Are there any exclusions to what I can purchase using my military discount?" You will see they are removing Veterans Discounts on quite a few things:

Here is the link for Customer Service: https://www.cabelas.com/custserv/custserv.jsp
Here is the phone number: 1 (800) 237-4444
I am posting this so that Veterans can try to continue get all the benefits they can from companies that appreciate their service.
