i think i'll run down and pick one up tomorrow, looks like a pretty solid price.

Yea I saw that too, but I try to avoid their tempting deals at least until I get a "not even a chance" from the local gun shop before they loose my business.

+1
Most local FFL stores attempt to get full MSRP which I won't pay. One local small shop with a good rep on this forum has earned my business by pricing competitively. Recently, I wanted a Mossy 590A1 Mariner. I did price comparisons online then let them find the gun for me (not easy) at a fair price. I like doing business with Big 5, but not until after working with "my" FFL first (hi guys, you know who you are).

i snagged one, they nailed me $10 for the california compliant lock. i asked if i could bring one when i pick up and the answer was no, had to be purchased within the past 30 days. at least the reg was only $25, ended up running me $430 otd

wouldn't the safe affidavit work also?

Exactly my thoughts. I think Big5 has some BS excuse to the safe affidavit though. Its bogus but its the way they work. Kind of like the 11 day dros period.

I would have got one if it had a 28" or so barrel or it was a super nova. Love my Benelli.

How many shells does this hold? Does it come with the Ghost ring sights? Picture doesn't look like it.

Two things:
1. I use the safe affidavit at my big5
2. When they told me 11 days, I came in on the 10th 24hr period and instructed them to release my property. They did.
Just not a whole lot of ...something... in that place.

This really depends on the store and sales person. The ones in Elk Grove and in Irvine are pretty good. The manager told me that they say 11 days because people would come in at something like 9 days, 23 hrs or so. So, it is acutally 10 full days, and they know that, and they honor that (at least with me). The safe affidavit works, I saw someone filling it out at the Irvine Big 5.
