I got my mes 40 bt from SAMs club for 329, and it came with the stand. For me it was the best deal for what I wanted.

Have you had any issues with it? I have been looking at that one and someone posted on here if you get it that you should purchase the warranty based on reviews but I haven't read the reviews on it yet to find out that the issues are.

No issues at all. I don't know of anyone having issues with this model. The reason people say to get the warranty(as I did) is simply because the MES warranty is only 90 days and at SAMs you can get a three year warranty for 30 bucks. That's nice insurance for cheap.

I Dunno which MES 40 your referring to at cabellas, but I see they have a 40 inch sportsman elite for 383. The SAMs MES 40 is 329. SAMs is a 4 rack model with a stand included. The cabellas sportsman elite has no stand but comes with 2 more racks. Same size inside but the 6 racks are closer together than the SAMs with just 4

Adding racks could be done but it would involve removing all the screws for it's racks and relocating them then adding 8 more for the 2 new racks. Not worth the trouble IMO.
