RE: Stoeger Model 2000 Semi-Auto 12 Ga
The 2000 is a good gun. They are light in weight and have many features. They balance like most other Beretta family autos with more weight towards the stock. They also pattern similar. If you are not happy with your patterns after some testing try a Terror Tube by SRM (Surecycle). The 2000 is inertia operated like most Benelli auto's but, it has the action/recoil spring around the magazine tube making it one of the easiest semi auto's to maintain. Quality is not as good as a Benelli but the price is much lower also.
