Used All My Cabelas Points
« on: December 21, 2015, 04:47:38 PM »
Decided to burn my accumulated Cabelas points before year's end.  Found a nice Cabelas Limited Edition Model 70 Lightweight Super Grade in 7x57 online two months ago in Cabelas gun library in Georgia.  I proceeded to put it on layaway when it arrived in Lacey.  I decided to break it out of confinement today.  My cost out of pocket after points....less than $100.   Too bad Winchester didn't have their usual sales tax rebate going during the holiday season, as I would have actually got it for free.

At least with a firearm, I feel my points continue to hold their value, even if in the safe.

Sweet rifle. So nice that I don't think I could leave it in the safe. I'd have to take it out and kill something with it.   :chuckle:

I was going to ask if I could use my points on a firearm. Now I know.

Nice find.

Great rifle and a classy chambering. :tup: I'm very fond of the 7x57.

Last buck I shot with my 7x57 before I tucked it away.
