Is $629+ tax to much for Mossberg SPX?

SMiller · 02-09-2009

A local dealer called me and said he would be getting a Mossberg SPX in wed. and asked if I wanted it. Said I was looking at $629 plus tax, is that to much to pay for this gun or ok? I am thinking Dick's sells them for $549 but I don't know of any of them that have them in stock, I just don't want to get rung, thanks!

I got mine for just under $600 OTD from dick's. This was 6mos-yr ago. I looked for one at the 1500 before I went to dick's but they didn't have any. I did have to go to several Dick's before I finally found one in Avon. I would recommend you call the dick's stores in your area to check on availibility and price. Also, if you sign up for the loyalty card when you check out (assuming you don't have one already), you're probably looking at like a $25 gift card down the line.

I don't know your relation with the dealer, but you may see if he can cut you a better deal or throw in some accessories/ammo/etc to balance out the cost difference.

The hard part after you get the gun is not spending more money on tacticool stuff!

Good luck,

Well I pick up the STX thurs. morning, I will let you know what I think, pretty unbias opinion as I don't love anything...

Sounds good. I'd like your opinion. Personally I think it's a lot of gun for the price.

what is the gun for? if it's for home defense that you may never use I would say yeah that's to much, just get a pump.

I agree if it's for home defense, why pay that much. Get a Mossberg pursuader for $300 bucks and call it a day.

I picked one up at Dick's and shot the heck out of it at the range one day so I would be satisfied that it was reliable. It took the target apart and is fun to blast away with. Now it sits in my bedroom. So far, it has been the only firearm I have paid full retail for. I kind of regret that but I am not dissatisfied. I think I agree with U.S. Patriot and tyler34 though.

I didn't catch one word about home defense, and semi-auto is more fun anyway

That is a fun gun to shoot, i had one for all of 2 weeks before realizing it was too much for HD, and I wanted the racking action of the first load (keep empty chamber). I got it for $529 at dicks, and shouldnt be more than $599 at most places...but with the gougers these days, you never know

It's main purpose will be home defense, I don't need\want a pump gun, as I don't give a warning rack of the slide, and I keep everything +1, it will also be used for lots of fun and maybe a couple tactical shotgun classes. I use my M&P .40 for most things but it is will be nice having a big gun with 8 fast shots to back it up if needed.
