I am also wondering if this is a reasonable price for this model. My understanding is that these firearms are in good repute with gun community.
But I do have these few concerns above and would like to have some opinions.
thank you

I have zero experience with a Vepr but I have had a Mossberg 590A1 for around 3 years now and have put a bunch of ammo through it
With 2.75 inch shells, the Mossberg has a capacity of 8+1 and the Vepr has 5+1. I'd say in either case, that will probably be enough for a home defense situation. If you are buying the shotgun for some other reason or think you'll burn through more than 8 or 9 rounds in a home defense situation, then the Vepr may be a better option. Cost wise, you should be able to get the Mossberg for around 300 dollars cheaper.
