25 years ago I got a new 1400 for $260 and used it all of the time for dove and skeet. I could and can still hit with that gun.
But, you have to pamper that model. It's action isn't rugged and mine worked best with a very narrow shell range. It doesn't like reloads either.
For the occassional shooter, it might be fine. For the high volume shooter, imo pass on it.
