BTW, Cabelas sells some very highend guns....... $1,300 a peice average could easily be skewed with just a few very expensive pieces.

Entirely so.

There's a Beretta store in the Park Cities area of Dallas that had a $30,000 shotgun on display until relatively recently. Someone bought it.

Cabela's has many rifles with prices in the 5-digits.
