Well that sucks. I guess an option would be to see if anyone is planning on a purchase from Cabelas that would be willing to buy the cards from you for face value or something close to it. Then you would have cash to spend at the store of your choice.

Offer them to some one [ young hunter just starting out] I am sure he/they would be very appreciative.

There is no such thing! There's always something to buy there. Or you could just wait until the next sale on muzzleloaders.

That gun is not going to be brought in again, these cards will sit for a while, I am on new baby budget for hunting.
The fact that this gun is so light that my wife could also use it meant a lot, I talked to the local shop and I know there price, I will not be able to get cash for the Cabelas cards but tax returns are not that far off so it may be in the cards down the road. I am glad I have a few months to figure it out before the hunt.
Oh, I also bought pretty much everything I need from other sources over the last 2 years, new scopes, bullets, powder, Chronograph, reloading dies, etc, not much tickling my fancy at Cabelas and not at full price for sure.

There are a whack of good gun shows coming up in the next few months...you may find a good deal at one of them. There aren't many ML's at them, but there are a few.

My muzzleloader is very light in comparison to many of my other rifles and shotguns. I'm sure you can find another that fits that requirement.
Cabela's has some really good quality hunting/hiking boots. If you can find them on sale, you could get a good deal.

I bought boots too a couple years back, lifetime warranty
, I know I can figure something out but I better sit on it and make sure it is something I need.
I am going to stop at the local shop on Friday and handle a few more, the CVA wolf is 6.25lbs and feels really nose heavy to me, hence the Pursuit's chrome moly barrel, sets the weight back into the shoulder. My wife cannot really do well with a heavy gun, a fully loaded Win 94 is a bit of a stretch for her, but her Savage 340 works great, just barrel out front and a thin profile too.

Yes, I have a CVA optima, and it is light but nose heavy. Big, thick barrel with hollow, plastic stock...

seen a gun during the hunt season where the guy filled up the stock with lead shot, gave it some balance and reduced the recoil.
