I would never buy a gun again from Lebaron or WS without being there to hold it and check it over.
I only buy from site sponsors for the most part now and Epps has the field model listed for around 1100.
Big box stores can keep their hit and miss guns many of which are truely not new or of the same quality thus the upfront price differences
My dad ran a shop and we seen a lot of big box store guns in during those days, lebaron, sears, kmart etc
Reconditioned being sold as new was not uncommon or ones with more shelf wear than a hunting season would have put on it. Maybe different today but I would be suprised
sure isn't at WS from the 28ga CZ I looked at about 3 years ago. New and beat to crap on ther shelf
But to each their own
Still think the op can do better than 800 if the higher grades and minty as he says
