There were several others with prices over $1,000, or only the discounts were mentioned but not the actual tag prices. I did not include these for obvious reasons.
What are my druthers? I'druther have the Stoeger because it is a 12 ga SEMI-AUTO, + shoots up to 3" Mags, + 5 choke tubes. I'll be willing to save up for it.
Second choice will be Remington 870 at $269.99!!! You can't beat that price. This is the Wingmaster model.
Interested Socal Progunners are advised to contact the nearest branch for further information as to availability and latest price.

The Silver Reserve goes on sale for $470 at Big 5. Prone to broken firing pins and has a stiff lock up... But is said to be worth the money.
Would anybody else have heard of this problem of broken firint pins with the Mossberg Silver Reserve o/u?
