I think the CT sales tax is about 8%. What is the ME sales tax?
I am 110 miles from either store. Anyone know if this 'show' is worthwhile?
Thanks,
Bill
 
What Gun Show? Where? When?

I have not heard of this. Cabelas just opened up a couple of weeks ago in Scarboruugh, Maine. They have a decent selection of firearms in the store.

An a lot of ammo but no Weatherby .340 Mag (Hint,Hint,HINT!) I did get some thru the mail order catalog


The Maine State Sales Tax is 5%


When is the gun show your speaking of?

Here's the ad from Cabela's web site. Not much info. Anybody work either store and have details?

And if you plan on purchasing a firearm in CT, there's a 14 day waiting period unless you are eligible to have it legally waived.
 
Having been to the Scar. one, I wouldn't waste my time and I'm only 10 minutes away. It's worth it to me to make a 45 minute drive to kittery Trading Post rather than go to cabela's. Nothing great about thier prices AT ALL> Loom on thier site and you can see thier inventory of used guns. a LOT of them are priced what new costs elsewhere.
 
The gun show sale flyer came in the mail the other day... nothing spectacular.

A bunch of budget package hunting rifles, a few plastic handguns, and a few other odds and ends.

The prices are better if you take the 2% club rewards rebate. I haven't seen any coupons lately, but back before Christmas they were sending out coupons for $50 or $75 off a $500 dollar purchase.
 
I stopped in over lunch since I'm only a couple of minutes away. Very limited selection. A few old collectibles as well as some new & used pistols & rifles. Nothing really caught my eye. About 6 ARs, 20" fixed stock & all that I saw were $999. One looked like an SP1 so possibly a pre-ban, but I didn't look closely to see if the upper & lower were matching.

Had an elk sandwich, that was OK.[grin]
 
The Scar store had some old Colt AR's when they opened I now. With thier prices, prob still there. Heck I'm thinking most of thier firearms, new and used are still there. Seriously they are high! I can drive to Kittery and buy and still spend less including fuel I think. Being only 10-15 mintes away I've been there once. Wasn't too impresed.
 
my buddy bought a Ruger GP100 revolver and he said it was within a few bucks of KTP. When you figure it is about an hour out of the way for him to get it at KTP, he saved a bunch buying it at Cabelas. Since I went there the first and second time, I probably won't make a special trip to Cabelas, but it sure is convenient to have my wife pick stuff up for handloading and to hit it on my way to Portland!
