the batavia leader is a low end gun that will not hold up to a lot of shooting... for $400, you should be able to buy a decent ithaca lefever nitro special or perhaps a savage fox model b...
I have a Model B from early 50's if i remember correctly, in 20GA that I restored the wood on(not exactly like the high gloss Browning finish on my Sweet 16 but, pretty damn good looking). It's an okay gun. Checkering looks like my 4 year old did it, fit and finish like my 10 year old did it. But i shoot it regardless.
