For those of us in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley area, I noticed in my travels this weekend a Sportsmen's Warehouse in Burlington. This is about 20 mins south of Bellingham, WA.
It's basically a sports store for hunters and fishermen about the size of a Costco. Prices seem OK especially with the strengthened Canadian loonie.
There isn't as much taxidermy as a Cabela's but I would hold it on par with a Wholesale Sports store.
They had probably 100 rifles in their racks and were happy to let you handle as you wished up to three at a time.
About 1/3 was dedicated to fishing and maybe a fifth was outdoor cooking
and camping.
Its east on 20 off of I-5 and then south at the first light which is a right until you almost reach I-5 again. The store is on the east side of the main street past the Cascades Mall and Costco.
Will have to wait for a few more months before Cabelas opens in Lacy WA.
