Who had them at that price?
More like, who, when, where and condition.
Primary Arms, very recently, $1109 for a brand new rifle. If you don't want to wait on a sale, or hoping that another one occurs, I know that sport optics keeps them in stock at a REALLY good price. I'm going to be buying a DD barrel from them shortly, at well below what I can find them anywhere else for.
Right now g&r tactical has a few other DD rifles, at msrp, but with a free aimpoint PRO. Not as good of a deal as the one I caught, but still a great deal if you're a fan of the aimpoint.
