I find Cabela's much like Leupold.
There may be better products out there at a better price. You will not find a product with better support though. I have no problem taking a chance on Cabela's branded products for that reason.
I live less than 15 miles from a store and have never gotten so much as the stink eye over the few returns I've made. I don't try and rip them off though. You see lots of stuff after season that you gotta wonder about. I mean either the range finder works or it doesn't. Saying you just didn't like it after your Barren Ground Cariboo hunt seems sorta odd to me.
