    Bass Pro Shops, which is based in Springfield, will now buy Cabela’s for about $5 billion. That’s $500 million less than the deal announced in October.

    The deal will combine Cabela’s 85 stores, which have a stronger presence in the Northwest, with Bass Pro’s roughly 100 locations that are concentrated in the Southeast.
