Honestly, starting with a .22 caliber rifle is a solid choice for beginners. They’re inexpensive to shoot and great for learning the basics without breaking the bank.
I’ve heard similar advice! Plus, Cabela’s usually has a good selection of those.

True! Reading Cabela’s policies on gun ownership is also beneficial to avoid any issues during purchase.
When buying guns from Cabela’s, it’s crucial to understand the legal requirements. Each state varies in regulations, so check local laws before heading to the store.
Absolutely, knowing the state laws is key. Don’t forget that federal regulations require you to be 18 to buy rifles and 21 for handguns!
And let’s not forget about the background checks! Expect a few days of waiting, especially if you’re a first-time buyer. It can be a nerve-wracking wait!
