    Tough choice among those as I use each for different reasons.
    GM is out, too far away and not that impressed.
    Love Cabelas
    I love BP's red head brand of clothes and thier fishing stuff
    Dix is 5 minutes away so I am always stopping in there for something and you can hit some really good sales. Plus I buy a lot of workout gear/clothes there.

    Cabelas by a long shot. I've been a Cabelas Club member for about 6 years now, and use my card for everyday items like groceries, gas, etc. I accumulate points, and then time it to buy new things. I would say on average I get about 20% off each time I buy there. Their selection is great, customer service is great, and did I mention the club rewards is nice:D

    Dikk's on the other hand is a high school, brain-less, staffed nightmare. Trying to return a set a Carhart bibs the other day took about 45 minutes, and at one point, the girl working on it said this was an "epic fail.":rolleyes:

    GM is nice, but I'll only shop there if we make a trip to the mall.

    I live about 5 minutes from a BPS, therefore, most of my money goes to BPS.

    I buy probably an equal amount from bass pro and cabelas. I prefer cabelas though. I get both places to price match bowhunters Superstore anytime i'm buying anything which means no matter what i'm getting, its the lowest price around.

    When buying stuff for hunting, I usually pick Cabela's.

    If I need some fishing gear I go to Bass Pro.

    Bass Pro for me. Probably because it's roughly 4 minutes and 27 seconds from me.
