M10X Canadian MSRP set

[DILLIGAF]

Just like if I still want an m10x I'll do the same thing and bypass NS

Ive been trying to bypass them ever since they screwed me on my 1911 back in the day. But for my X95 I didnt have a choice unfortunately.

Lucky for us they should be making the Tavor 7 in a 20" version So that means it will be way cheaper thru IRG and if we are lucky we should have them faster as well

I'd like to do this too....but even that might be too direct. I may have to wait for the EE.

 

[Hitzy]

Yup and also NS right?!?!?!?

We should all stop buying #### they import aswell but we know THAT will never happen

Or is it from a greedy company putting #### into M+M ear saying they can make more money this way!?!?

I guess we know your answer as you will still be supporting NS

But how the #### is it in your mind that this one rifle set ya off!?!?

What about your overpriced Tavor or x95 or any smith & Wesson or HK etc.....

I don't own anything at all that NS is the distributor for...until now that was just a coincidence. Going forward I'll check first.

Me too ABNS. Sadly, I own one S&W pistol they imported, thought I bought it used so my money didn't go to NS.

If we declare we'll "pay anything" prices should go down for all commodities. That has worked smashingly thus far.

And yet it appears you and I bet a hell of alot of other shooters already have when they just buy something they want

 

[bfiles]

So you really think prices will drop by no one buying anything then Deckard? ?

Wouldn't that kill our sport right there as no one would be willing to bring anything in for us!?!??!

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face then

 

[In The Black]

Prices WILL drop if no one buys, or if sales are slow.

The same thing that got this situation rolling, will sustain our sport. Greed.

ITB

 

[Deckard]

Not a fan of paying artificially inflated prices hiked up solely due to sleazy tactics. In the end we each decide if we go along or not. Everyone wins: some feel 'elite', 'prosperous' or whatever or others feel they aren't taken for a ride. Decide, be happy, move on.

Monopolies are not good for consumers. If you remember way back early 2000's, Lever Arms was the only shop selling Nork M14's... for $800 back then. They were selling a few, but not #### loads of them.
Then an un-nameable shop brought in a ####load and sold thousands of them for $399. They made tons of money off these, maybe not as much per unit as Lever obviously, but overall much higher profit.
M&M and NS #### show is the same thing as Lever Arms. They think it's better to clear $1000 per unit and only sell 500 then it is to clear $500 but sell 5000 units.

And yes, I think if we stop supporting the stupid "middle man" distribution system we have here other shops will step in and fill the roll.

Yes I do remember that and (hate starting to say this more) but I too agree and feel there is no need for a middle man.

If NS didn't step in, these rifles would have been sold for the 1450$ price tag Wanstalls had on them already. Greed sets in yes bg time for this but what I'm getting at is it isn't JUST this one rifle.

It is everything yet everyone is silent for all the other times except now!?!?!?!?


Where were people with pitchforks when the Tavor came out at (if I recall at the time) 2700$!?!? Then the x95 came out ($2700) and the Tavor drops big time in price yet no one was screaming the "price pimps" then.

Funny how that works when other people salivate for something else that is ovwr priced but that is overlooked cuz they want it.

Just remember that when droves of people jump in line when the hottest new Tavor 308 comes out at the 3000$ price tag

I'll still buy an M10X cuz I could give 2 ####s what other social warrior keyboardists "PRIDE" means to me.

But NS won't be getting a damn cent from me anymore

 

[Deckard]

Our issue is foremost with those who will "pay anything", thereby encouraging gouging. Those are the price pimps. Got it? We really need to go line by line with other examples of gouging? Then the 'elite' can suggest we're 'bitter paupers'. Sounds fun.

 

[mikethebike]

Everyone involved with M&M can piss up a rope.
Canadian gun buyers are some of the dumbest mother####ers I've ever seen. Successfully got the price jacked on these by 25% with their stupid mouths.

30%
1500 to 2000 is 30% increase

 

[Danielcan]

A Browning BAR Long-Trac in 30-06 is about $1500.oo

Yeah that sounds about right coming from you ;-) now that I get.
But continue to whine all you want cuz your #####ing should be better used helping fight the new rules and regs coming out. Now that would serve as a real social warrior keyboardist

 

[Deckard]

Just buy the FN thing and move on. You'll appreciate the price.

That surprises me a bit. Lever was selling the Norc M14's for about $175 in the mid 1990's. At the same time they were selling brand new Chinese SKS for $75. Surprised they went up so much in a few years.

This is precisely what I have been saying since the entire CGN-only "tempest in a teapot" began concerning the M10X. We hear all sorts of righteous indignation over getting taken for a $500 ride on a $1500 M10X, but silence despite getting ripped off a grand on the purchase of every Tavor TAR-21 or X95. The mark-up on the M10X is actually just "business as usual" in Canada. All of the upset is over the fact that the average consumer now understands just how badly they are being ripped off by the parasitic, "middle-man" importation companies. It has nothing to do with the M10X per se - that just happens to be the platform where the pricing games became so apparent thanks to the shameless greed of the parent company and the "big Canadian importer". It could have just as easily been the introduction of the X95, had IWI been excessively greedy in eyeing up the Canadian retmail firearms market.

All of the above to say that the problem is not with the M10X, which by all accounts appears to be a solid rifle with some interesting design cues. The problem lies with the "system" that brought the M10X to the retail market in Canada, full-stop. For that reason, I will eventually own an M10X and f#ck the haters because they're too stupid to realize that their hate is misdirected at an object instead of the people responsible for screwing up its retail launch. I simply choose not to reward NS and M+M by padding their pockets any more than is fair. Which is why I will acquire a restricted version through a 3rd Party Importer, or will wait until the Canadian MSRP drops below $1700 for the NR version,

Simple really, and no need to vent all over the place about company behaviour which has been entirely consistent all along....

I will and you continue to enjoy boycotting everything and buying nothing then!!!
