Anybody shoot a Stoeger 2000?

[wileycoyote]

Had a friend just buy one, he really likes it. It's a really good buy compared to a benelli. I know it's a cheap benelli but has the same recoil components which function better in cold wet weather and cleaner and more reliable overall than the "gas". I've heard really good and not so good. Any Opnions?

It's not a Beneli, only made like one and it doesn't shoot 3 1/2" shells....other than that, it's probably worth the money.

Everybody I know that has one absolutely loves it.

Not all Benellis shoot 3 1/2" shells either Multi.

I would seriously consider one, but I want to be able to shoot the Roman candles. :D I'll be picking up an SBEII after Christmas.

One thing about the inertia guns.... if you hold a soft mount (grip) on the gun, you'll have cycling problems that you don't get with gas guns.

THe difference is that the Benelli has the spring inside the stock like most guns where it is subject to corrosion while the stoeger has the spring under the forearm around the magazine where it can be cleaned. Gunsmith I talked to said just keep 'em oiled -- they love oil.

I bought one for duck hunting a couple years ago and I've been very pleased.
No malfuntions at all. Balenced very well for an auto.
