Stoeger Single Shot 20 gauge?

I posted this in the firearms forum and got no reply I thought I would try it in this one!


I called the local gun dealer today and had him order me the gun. It is my girlfriends Valentines Day gift (I hope she likes it).

Does anyone have any experience with the Stoeger single shots? Any problems or things to look out for? I know questions I should have asked before ordering one but I figured they are associated with Benelli so I figured I would be okay.

I finally got the gun today. I have to say the girlfriend is happy it is in! I am somewhat impressed by the gun for the money I think it is about the best single shot shotgun I have ever seen. The recoil pad seems to be good quality and it has a safety that if engaged while the hammer is down will not let you cock the hammer or pull the trigger and the if on safe when the gun is cocked will not let the gun fire. The only thing I was disappointed in is that when you brake it open the spent shell doesn't eject (another single shot a buddy used to have did and I liked that unless I was unloading a live round) but rather the extractor lifts the shell a little to allow the shooter to manually extract the round. Otherwise the gun seems to point well and I like the vent rib, an excellent starter gun for anyone.
