Cabela's is offering free gifts to the first 800 shoppers at each of their retail stores beginning at 5 a.m. Black Friday. Winning shoppers (ages 18 and older) will take home either a Browning A-Bolt Medallion .300 WSM rifle with a Cabela's 50th Anniversary gun case, a Cabela's camouflage hooded sweatshirt or a Cabela's gift card valued at up to $100. (Of course, gun winners will have to go through the standard federal background check.)

If that's not enough to get you into the store, Cabela's has released a 28-page Black Friday ad. Highlights include:

Men's, women's and kids' Caribou Creek fleece jackets -- $10
Garmin etrex Legend HCx -- $120
Bushnell all-purpose binoculars -- $25
Cabela's Traditional Hawken Flintlock rifles -- $400
Garmin Oregon 450 GPS -- $250
HI-TEC Altitude snow hikers -- $70

Camp Chef Explorer stove -- $80

Cabela's doorbusters are the best bargains, but they're available for only five hours, from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Black Friday.
