Sevenshot 98 Posted May 9, 2018 Mossberg says it is due to learning about the anti-2a lobbyists. I'm hoping even more companies do the same. The hiring of anti-2a lobbyists HAS TO BE the last straw for those that are still buying during sales. There is no way to justify it anymore by consumers or gun manufacturers. Mossberg makes great budget shotguns as well. If you are 50/50 on Mossberg vs another shotgun, here is your tie breaker. http://www.mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Mossberg-Terminates-Relationship-With-Dicks-Sporting-Goods.pdf 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Effective immediatly. I'll bet corporate Dicks is planning to be out of the gun business in a year anyway, how else to explain these anti antics? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,141 Posted May 10, 2018 Outstanding job Mossberg! While I'm sure they'll lose a small amount of revenue it sends a clear message. Mossberg putting there money where their mouth is! I nor my family will ever set foot in there again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Link - The Truth About Guns article Regards, TokenEntry It's pretty much a give-in how most of us feel about Hi-point products but still their doing this makes them an ally. I would like to also email them a "thank you for your support". I'm having trouble finding an email address for them. Just snail mail and phone numbers and their CEO Charles Brown President, MKS Supply, LLC. If anyone finds one please share it. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted May 10, 2018 With Shockwave sales off the charts, little or no financial pain for Mossberg. "Hey, what's this Mossberg in my safe? Wasn't there last week!" Ruger only sells through a distributor network. Rumor has it they have urged these distributors not to sell to Dick's. But, the distributors are contractually free to do what they want. Hopefully they will join the movement. As I said before, Dick's financial status was in the toilet long before this last wave of anti crap started. This will accelerate it. Now for Federal, Winchester, and others to join the fray. This will be harder as they are already sitting on a large inventory due to slow sales. I cannot find what percentage of sales this segment was to Dick's bottom line. Well, time will tell, Where the hell are the shareholders in this?

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 10, 2018 We need Vista Outdoor to cut off Dick's as well. They have so many products: Savage Federal Premium American Eagle Independence Hoppes M-Pro 7 Camelbak CCI Speer Blazer Uncle Mike's Blackhawk RCBS Champion Butler Creek Bushnell Simmons Weaver Tasco Bell That would seriously cut Dick's supply of products..
