I own a Franchi I-12 and a Stoeger Condor 20 gauge. I love both guns, but I will be 100% honest. When it comes to trap or skeet, I will take the Stoeger, but it will never see a woods or field, it isn't durable enough. The Franchi is my duck gun and that thing is built like a tank, wouldn't trade it for the world. I have never shot a M-2000 even though they have good reviews. If the only thing you are going to do is skeet, buy the Stoeger as it will suite just fine...if you might even consider hunting, spend the money and get a more durable, reliable shotgun made by the same design.
