I recently bought a Stoeger M2000 at a Gun Show. I just went to the range to try it out this past weekend. I was shooting some skeet and didn't really push the gun to the lowest end of its capabilities since I was shooting 1 1/8 oz. shot. You are supposed to shoot 1 oz. or heavier, even though I heard of some people shooting 7/8 oz. and they experienced no difficulties. I had absolutely no "malfs" after about 4 boxes of shells. I do have to say that it does present more recoil to the shooter than say...a Remington 1187 or a Beretta AL391. I am no expert in firearms but I have certainly handled and shot a broad number of them. I feel that for the money (About $400) this gun is definitely worth that; and on top of that, it is also capable of satisfying the user's expectations. However, people must realize that it is not a Benelli SBE or SBE2!
Although somewhat similar in the inertia operating system, the guns are a little different. I think the one attribute that they both share is the speed that one can shoot shells with them. They are FAST! Does the difference between the Stoeger and the Benelli make one better than the other?
I don't even want to begin to get into that debate! But if you're looking for something that performs kind of like the SBE, then the Stoeger M2000 might be your "Flavor of the Day"! And you won't have spent $1000 +
